(Charlotte, NC) -- A woman has been convicted of hitting two nurses in Mecklenburg County with her car, killing one of the victims.
Leah Walton was convicted of involuntary manslaughter Monday. A Mecklenburg County jury will consider a sentence Tuesday. Walton faces more than four years in prison.
Susan Karabulut was killed and Lisa Mcle was hurt when they were struck on a sidewalk on Aug. 22, 2010.
Prosecutor Gabrielle Macon says Walton was under the influence of a prescription drug for which she did not have a prescription.
Defense attorneys contend Walton was looking for a cigarette when she swerved and hit the women.
