A jury on Thursday found a Garner woman guilty in the death of her 19-month-old son, whose body was found in a garbage bag in her bedroom closet in November 2008.
Sherita McNeil, of 1852 Spring Drive, was convicted of first-degree murder and concealing the death of DeVarion Gross. The murder conviction carries a mandatory life sentence without the possibility of parole.
At least one juror cried as the judge read the verdict, but McNeil showed no emotion.
