UTICA, N.Y. -- A Utica woman is convicted of murdering her mother.

The jury returning a guilty verdict Friday, in the trial of Tasheonia Hills.

Hills stabbed her mother, 44-year-old Irene Williams in February of 2017.

The defense argued Hills was in a state of psychosis.

But the prosecution said the murder stemmed from Hills' anger toward her mother.

After more than a week of trial, and only a few hours of deliberations, the jury found Hills guilty of murder.

Prosecutors think the evidence sealed the case.

"When you look at the video interview of Investigator Sabanovic, and her recollection of the events that preceded that interview, I think that the jury found that she did not be mental disease or defect understand what she was doing that night," said Assistant District Attorney William Barry.

"If you really genuinely reviewed all of the evidence and looked at everything, and heard from the doctors, again excluding maybe the one, I think it's pretty safe to say she had something wrong with her mentally that caused a number of these symptoms and problems," said Defense Attorney Cory Zennamo.

Hills was also convicted of criminal possession of a weapon.

Sentencing will be February 11th.
