Maryland, adoptive ****** convicted of ******* ******** found in freezer
A Maryland woman was convicted Monday of ********* two of her adopted *********, whose bodies were found in a freezer in the woman's home.
Renee Bowman, 44, was found guilty of two first-degree ****** charges in the deaths of the young girls. Their bodies were found in a freezer in her Lusby home in September 2008.
Bowman's lawyer argued the killings weren't premeditated and suggested jurors should convict her of lesser second-degree ****** charges. However, prosecutors argued Bowman deliberately ********* the ********.
She had already pleaded guilty in Calvert County to ******* the surviving girl, also adopted, and has been sentenced to 25 years in prison in that case.
Authorities say the older girls, Jasmine and Minnet, were ****** in Rockville more than three years ago, but they don't know exactly when. Minnet would have been 12 now, and Jasmine would have turned 11 on Tuesday.
