A jury has convicted a woman of capital murder for the shooting and beating deaths of four people in suburban Houston in 2003. Christina Paolilla received an automatic life prison term Monday. She was not eligible for the death penalty because she was 17 at the time of the crime. Investigators believe the attack involved drugs and money. Paolilla was arrested in San Antonio shortly after the shootings. She claimed her boyfriend, 21-year-old Christopher Snider, was the gunman. He committed suicide before he could be captured. The victims included two 18-year-olds, a 19-year-old and a 21-year-old. |
