A jury in Atlantic has found a Harrison County man guilty of homicide by motor vehicle. KETV in Omaha reports the verdict was handed down Thursday afternoon against 50-year old Paul Marshall, of Modale, who drove the wrong way on Interstate 80 in Cass County last summer, and whose vehicle collided head-on near Atlantic, with a vehicle driven by 31-year old University of Nebraska Soccer Coach Peter Underwood, who died at the scene of the May 16th crash.

Marshall was taken into custody after the verdict, and was being held without bond pending sentencing, which was set for June 17th. Marshall will face up to 25-years in prison. His trial began Tuesday.
