Wyoming woman acquitted of attempted murder charge

GREEN RIVER, Wyo. (AP) – A jury has acquitted a Rock Springs

woman accused of attempted murder charges, instead finding her

guilty of aggravated assault and battery.

     Twenty-six-year-old Gloria Lynn Landeroz was charged after

prosecutors said she took part in a drive-by shooting on May 17,

2009.

     A jury heard more than four days of testimony and deliberated

for about 15 hours before reaching a verdict on Tuesday. The jurors

acquitted Landeroz of first-degree attempted murder, conspiracy to

commit first-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder. They

also deadlocked on an attempted manslaughter charge, and a mistrial

was declared on that count.

     Landeroz faces up to 10 years in prison on the aggravated

assault and battery conviction.
