In the courtroom, Adrienne March finds out her fate, guilty on two counts of attempted murder and lesser charges. She is quiet as the verdict is read.

"She was certainly extremely upset about what had happened. Her view is she was simply defending deadly physical force with deadly physical force," said her attorney Joe Terranova.

The jury saw it another way, finding her guilty of shooting 27 year old Frank Militello and his girlfriend Keile Coleman, both in the head, while they were in their car in North Buffalo last spring. Police originally said this was a drug related crime. Both Millitello and Coleman suffered serious injuries. Keile's left arm remains paralyzed and her left leg is still paralyzed. She was in court yesterday, but not today.

"That is the greatest thing about that child. She is true to what she says. She just wants to move on. This is going to make her stronger and everyone that knows her knows her attitude," said her father Bob Coleman.

Millitelo's family did not talk today. March will be sentenced December 18th, and faces 15 years to life behind bars.

"What remains now is preparing for sentencing and her appeal after that," added Terranova.
