A Rusk County jury found Jesseca Carson guilty Wednesday of capital murder in the December 2008 death of her 13-month-old daughter, Amora. Carson&#8217;s boyfriend, Blaine Milam, has been sent to death row for capital murder in the death, which Carson believed was an exorcism.   Prosecutors didn&#8217;t seek a death sentence for Carson, saying she encouraged, promoted or assisted in the crime.   Defense attorney Don Killingsworth told jurors that Milam dominated Carson, convincing her that a demon dwelled inside her daughter. Killingsworth said Carson thought Milam was helping her child and didn&#8217;t think he would hurt her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HENDERSON (AP) &#8211; A 20-year-old East Texas woman gets an automatic sentence of life in prison without parole after a jury convicted her of capital murder in the sexual assault and beating death of her infant daughter.
