2 More Men Convicted In Iron County Murder

(Hurley, WI)  --  An Iron County jury took just 90 minutes to find two more men guilty of a murder last December.  Wayne Valliere Junior's body was found New Year's Day in a rural area of northern Wisconsin. 

The jury found 27-year-old Richard Allen and 26-year-old Joseph Lussier guilty of conspiracy to commit first-degree intentional homicide and hiding a corpse.  Another man has already reached a plea deal. 

No trial date has been set for the two remaining defendants. 

An autopsy discovered Valliere was shot eight times, including two shots to his head.
