MIAMI, Florida (CNN) -- John Couey was found guilty Wednesday of murder, kidnapping, sexual assault and burglary in the abduction and death of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford.
Couey could be sentenced to death or to life in prison.
Lunsford was abducted from her Homosassa Springs, Florida, home and buried alive in trash bags in 2005.
Her body was found after a three week search.
In closing arguments Wednesday morning, the prosecutor urged them to convict John Evander Couey, saying overwhelming physical evidence, in addition to Couey's own admissions told the story of Jessica's death..
Couey, 48, who has a record as a sex offender, was arrested in March 2005 in Georgia during the search for Jessica, who disappeared on February 23, 2005, from her bedroom about 150 yards from the trailer where Couey had been living, according to The Associated Press.
Evidence presented at trial included DNA from Jessica's blood and Couey's semen on a mattress in his bedroom, as well as Jessica's fingerprints in a closet where she was allegedly hidden. Jail guards and investigators testified that Couey repeatedly admitted details of the slaying after his arrest, insisting that he hadn't meant to kill the third-grader but panicked as police searched for her, AP reported.
Jessica's body was found in a shallow hole, encased in two black plastic trash bags. She died of suffocation and was found clutching a purple stuffed dolphin, according to AP.
