pregnant friend three months after her own miscarriage was convicted Wednesday of beating and strangling her, then cutting the baby from her womb and passing the child off as her daughter. Julie Corey, 39, sobbed as a Worcester Superior Court jury found her guilty of the 2009 murder of Darlene Haynes, 23.
A jury in Worcester (WUS'-tur) will now deliberate the fate of Julie Corey.
