The verdict came in Thursday evening.

His retrial began Monday, and the jury made up of ten women and four men listened to arguments from both the prosecutor and defense.

His first trial ended in a hung jury July of 2016.

Aguirre is still facing charges for the murder of Ruby Doss in 1986 in Spokane.
