Downtown Covina, California 's. Downtown Covina, looking north on Citrus. West Covina, California Aerial view of the Finch's home - Jury tour - Shared by Mark Dearth - my parents purchased the Finch house sometime before the beginning of the third trial in My brother and I must have been around 6 at that time. The large windows you see are the living room windows and theyoverlook the valley and face North to the mountains. The house is sort of T shaped like a hospital with bedrooms off a long hallway.

You can see the large Christmas star lying down on the roof of the garage. I believe Finch made it and we put it up for many years. There was a large hole in the plaster wall and I remember my Uncle telling me the reporters had chipped away and made the hole larger so it would show up better in photographs.

Barbara Finch tried to get away by running out of the garage down the driveway towards where you see the jury standing. There was a dirt pathway leading from there down to the house just below which is where Finch's father lived. That driveway was one badass driveway and very steep.

I remember my father telling me my mom called him at work frantic because no one had told us the jury would be visiting that day. My Dad said he talked to the judge and they worked it out.

In July of , year-old Barbara Finch was found dead in the garage of her home from the combined effects of a bullet in the back and blows that fractured her skull. At their first two trials, Finch and his paramour beat the rap when the juries failed to agree on a verdict.

But after a third sensational trial, during which the prosecutor accused them of "acting out of greed, avarice, lust, and frustration," they were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
