After a little more than two hours of deliberations, a jury found Nioshka Bello, 24, guilty of first-degree murder Wednesday, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
A judge sentenced Bello, who has a history of mental illness going back to when she was 15, immediately afterwards. Bello confessed to killing her 2-year-old daughter, Janessa Sandoval, shortly after the child’s death in September 2009, the newspaper reported. She then spent several months in a state mental hospital after she was found incompetent to stand trial. After reviewing medical reports, a judge ruled last year that Bello was well enough to appear in court.
