LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - A Laramie man has been convicted of 12 felony counts including kidnapping and raping his wife at gunpoint.

Donald Ray Daves, who is 46, could spend the rest of his life in prison following his conviction this week.

Prosecutors contended that Daves kidnapped his wife at gunpoint in early April, forced her to perform a sexual act on him at the Monolith Ranch public access area and then raped her three times at a Laramie hotel.

Public defender Vaughn Neubauer had argued the prosecution's case was based largely on testimony from Dave's wife and wasn't reliable.

Albany County Attorney Richard Bohling told jurors she was a credible witness and "this should not be too difficult to decide if you believe her testimony."
