LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A mother who drove her teenage son and his friends to a fatal fight with a rival gang in Southern California has been convicted of second-degree murder.

The jury convicted 31-year-old Eva Daley on Monday. The jury also found that Daley and her co-defendant committed the crime for the benefit of a criminal gang.

Heriberto Garcia also was convicted of second-degree murder. He was accused of stabbing 13-year-old Jose Cano in June 2007 near a Long Beach skate park.
