You are correct that the "finally" clause is always executed.

But the value returned from the method is the value specified in the 
return statement.  _result is not changed to -10 until after the 
return statement is executed.  Since the value of _result is 1010 at 
the time that the return statement is executed, the method returns 
1010.
