MOUNT CLEMENS (AP) -- A Detroit-area woman faces sentencing in the sexual assault and murder of her 2-year-old stepdaughter.
A Macomb County Circuit Court jury convicted Renee King of felony murder, criminal sexual conduct and child abuse in late February. She's to be sentenced on Tuesday. The murder conviction carries an automatic penalty of life in prison without possibility of parole.
Authorities say Lily Wolfenbarger-Furneaux was killed Nov. 20, 2010, in King's New Haven mobile home. Lily died from multiple blunt force blows to her head and had a vaginal injury.
King has said the head traumas resulted from two accidental falls, and she denies knowing about the vaginal injury.
