LOS ANGELES _ A Los Angeles jury has convicted a second elderly woman of killing a homeless man in an insurance scheme.

The jury was deadlocked Thursday on another murder count and a conspiracy count against 75-year-old Olga Rutterschmidt.

She was convicted of killing Kenneth McDavid. The judge has ordered the panel to reconvene Monday to try to decide the other two counts involving victim Paul Vados.

Rutterschmidt's co-defendant Helen Golay was convicted Wednesday of murdering both men. She was also convicted of conspiracy to murder for financial gain in both killings.
