A state jury found a 21-year-old woman and her 24-year-old boyfriend guilty Friday of attempted murder, robbery and other charges in connection with the stabbing of the woman’s sister in October 2013.
Jessica Lee Hinebaugh and Michael Ayala face mandatory life prison terms with the opportunity for parole for the attempted murder at sentencing in June.
Casey Ann Jones, 25, testified that her sister held her down and covered her mouth while Ayala repeatedly stabbed her in the living room of her Mililani Mauka townhouse.
Jones was two months pregnant at the time of the attack. She gave birth last May.
