The Latest: 2 slain kids' father cries as nanny is convicted
NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on a nanny convicted of stabbing two children to death in their home (all times local):
4:30 p.m.
A nanny convicted of murder for stabbing two children to death at their New York home has expressed no reaction to the verdict, just staring straight ahead.
The children's father, Kevin Krim, held hands in court on Wednesday with two alternate jurors who said they would stay for the verdict and then hugged them after it was read. They cried together.
Jurors found nanny Yoselyn Ortega (YOH'-sih-lihn ohr-TAY'-guh) guilty of murder in the October 2012 deaths of 6-year-old Lucia Krim and 2-year-old Leo Krim.
The nanny's lawyer had argued she was mentally ill and should not be held responsible.
