UPDATE:

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A Milwaukee woman has been convicted of killing a pregnant mother last year and trying to steal her full-term baby.

A jury found Annette Morales-Rodriguez guilty Thursday of two counts of first-degree intentional homicide. She faces a mandatory life sentence, although a judge could allow for the possibility of parole. Wisconsin does not have the death penalty.

Prosecutors say Morales-Rodriguez had miscarriages and was desperate to give her boyfriend a son. They say she faked being pregnant, panicked as her supposed due date approached, and decided to attack an expectant mother and try to pass off the child as her own.

Morales-Rodriguez's defense attorneys conceded she strangled 23-year-old victim Maritza Ramirez-Cruz last October. But they argued that the deaths of the mother and her fetus weren't intentional.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A Milwaukee woman accused of killing a young mother by cutting her full-term fetus from her womb is set to stand trial nearly a year after the attack.

Annette Morales-Rodriguez is scheduled for trial Monday on two counts of first-degree intentional homicide in the October 2011 deaths of Maritza Ramirez-Cruz and her fetus, a boy. She has pleaded not guilty.

Prosecutors say Morales-Rodriguez had miscarriages and was desperate to give her boyfriend a son. They say she faked being pregnant, panicked as her supposed due date approached and settled on a plan to attack an expectant mother and raise the yet-unborn child as her own.

Ramirez-Cruz left behind a husband, two young daughters and a young son. She was 23 when she died.
