LONGVIEW — A Longview jury has found a Tyler man guilty of capital murder. In just under two hours of deliberations, the jury convicted Isaiah Christopher Roberts, 31. Since prosecutors did not seek the death penalty, Roberts was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He was accused of the June 2014 murders of his ex-wife Chanda Martin, 38, and her friend, Kim Rayson, 35. The two were found shot to death in a home in the 300 block of Thelma Street in Longview.
