It took a Travis County jury one day to convict the woman accused of helping convicted murderer Colton Pitonyak dismember his victim and flee to Mexico in August 2005.

Laura Hall, 24, was convicted of tampering with evidence by destroying or altering a human body and a misdemeanor count of attempting to hinder apprehension. The felony is punishable by 10 years in prison.

Prosecutors were originally hoping for a felony conviction for hindering and apprehension, but jurors found her not guilty for that charge, instead reducing the charge to attempted hindering an apprehension. That charge is a misdemeanor.

Hall will be sentenced Tuesday at 9 a.m.

Her trial began Tuesday. The defense told jurors that DNA evidence didn't link her to the crime scene. A DNA specialist identified blood found in Pitonyak's apartment and said the blood belonged to Pitonyak and/or the victim, Jennifer Cave.

The state argued that Hall was obsessed with Pitonyak and wanted to be the "Bonnie to his Clyde."

Witnesses – including Pitonyak's friend and Hall's cellmate – testified that Hall said she "masterminded" Cave's dismemberment. Hall's lawyer argued that her former cellmate isn't a credible witness and that doesn't prove her guilt.

Cave's body was discovered by her mother and stepfather, who drove up from Corpus Christi when they couldn't reach her by phone for a few days. She was found shot, stabbed and partially dismembered in the bathtub of Pitonyak's West Campus apartment.

Pitonyak is currently serving a 55-year sentence for the murder. During his trial, attorneys blamed Hall for the mutilation and the getaway trip to Piedras Negras, Mexico. It only took jurors an hour and 20 minutes to convict him in January.
