COMPTON, Calif. — A Southern California woman who slit the throats of her three children and left their bodies on her bed was convicted Monday of first-degree murder.

Carol Ann Coronado, 32, is facing a potential life sentence if she is judged to have been sane during the May 20, 2014, killings at her home in the Los Angeles suburb. Prosecutors declined to seek the death penalty.

Coronado could be sent to a mental hospital if it is determined she was insane at the time of the killings.
