A jury has convicted a north Alabama woman of capital murder in the death of her 6-year-old son, who died in a house fire last year.

Jurors returned the verdict against 30-year-old Christie Michelle Scott today during their third day of deliberations.

She could receive life imprisonment or the death penalty at a sentencing hearing set for tomorrow.

Prosecutors argued that Scott started the fire that killed her son, so she could collect life insurance from the boy's death.
