RI woman convicted of killing 3-year-old nephew

C.F.

Providence, RI (AP)  -- A woman who beat her 3-year-old nephew after she came home from a night of drinking to find a mess in her Woonsocket home is convicted of murder.

Katherine Bunnell was convicted Friday of second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder for the 2004 death of Thomas "T.J" Wright. The jury in Providence Superior Court deliberated for three days.

Sentencing was set for July 16, and she faces 10 years to life in prison.

Attorney General Patrick Lynch calls the case the most brutal beating his office has ever prosecuted.

Bunnell's defense attorney had argued that while she hit the toddler, her live-in boyfriend, Gilbert Delestre, delivered the fatal wounds. Delestre also is charged and will be tried separately.
