There is breaking news in the trial of three defendants charged with murdering 81-year-old Dorothy Session.
On their second day of deliberation, a jury has convicted David Moses and Katila Nash of first-degree murder for the killing that happened in Session's Bakersfield home April 14, 2010. She was found beaten there and later died of her injuries.
The jury was deadlocked on the guilt or innocence of Angelique Nash and the judge declared a mistrial in her case. It's due back in court September 28th. Prosecutors say Angelique Nash acted as a lookout while the other two defendants went inside.
Moses was the only one who hit Session, but all three were charged with first-degree murder because prosecutors say Session died during an intended burglary.
