Shawna Forde, Kid-Killing Minutewoman, Convicted of Murder

Shawna Forde, a founder of the anti-immigration group Minutemen American Defense Corps., has been convicted of murder in the 2009 slayings of an Arivaca man and his nine year-old daughter.

The Pima County jury now must decide whether Forde, 43, should face the death penalty.

Jurors reportedly deliberated for five hours on Friday before leaving for the weekend without announcing a verdict. This morning, after about two hours of deliberation, the jury returned its guilty verdict.
