Jury convicts two in attempted murder case
MOUNT CLEMENS (AP) -- A jury has convicted two men of attempted murder and conspiracy for shooting and setting fire to a pregnant Detroit woman because one of the men didn't want another child.
A Macomb County Circuit Court jury in Mount Clemens found 23-year-old Warren residents Jamal Rogers and Antonio Mathis guilty of all charges last Thursday. The men's sentencing is July 9 on the charges that carry up to life in prison.
Authorities say Rogers and Mathis abducted Latonya Bowman in May 2012, tying her up, setting her on fire and shooting her.
Police say Rogers was Bowman's former boyfriend, and he wanted her dead because he didn't want another child.
Bowman survived the attack and gave birth to a boy days later. She testified at the trial.
