Conaway faces up to life in prison. Jurors now must determine whether Conaway will be eligible for parole.
Conaway’s two older daughters had testified she hit Aliayah (ah-LEE’-ah) Lunsford in the head, then put her body in a clothes hamper and dumped it in the woods. The girl’s body was never found.
