LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — A 20-year-old Kansas woman has been convicted of killing her roommate and former employer by nearly decapitating him.

Jurors in Douglas County deliberated nearly five hours before finding Sarah Gonzales McLinn of Lawrence guilty of first-degree murder in the January 2014 death of 52-year-old pizza shop owner Harold Sasko.

McLinn’s attorneys had acknowledged that their client killed Sasko, but they sought an acquittal on claims that she had mental disease or defect at the time of the slaying. Defense witnesses also testified that McLinn had multiple personalities.

But jurors concluded McLinn was able to form intent to kill Sasko, contrary to what her attorneys argued.

Prosecutors are seeking a 50-year sentence that doesn’t carry the prospect of parole. Jurors will begin hearing that portion of the trial Monday.
