DIXON, Illinois (AP) -- A teenage girl was convicted Wednesday of killing a 16-year-old classmate who was choked, beaten and sawed into pieces after an argument over boys.

Sarah Kolb, 17, faces of up to 60 years in prison.

The victim, Adrianne Reynolds, had just moved to East Moline, Illinois, from Texas about two months before the killing. Prosecutors said she was just trying to fit in at a new school but picked the wrong friend.

On January 21, 2005, Kolb, Reynolds and schoolmate Cory Gregory were in Kolb's car at a fast-food restaurant when the fight began. Reynolds was killed and her body was burned, dismembered and hidden in two counties.

Gregory also is charged with murder and concealing a homicide and is scheduled to stand trial May 1.

Kolb showed no reaction as the verdict was read. Her family and Reynolds' family wept quietly as the jury was polled.

The trial was Kolb's second in three months. The first ended in a mistrial in November when a Rock Island County jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of conviction. Her retrial was moved to Dixon, about 60 miles away.

Wrote about killing in journal
In the retrial, prosecutor Jeff Terronez said Kolb wrote in a class journal that she was going to kill Reynolds just hours before Reynolds was beaten and strangled in the car.

Terronez said Kolb was angry because Reynolds had shown interest in Kolb's boyfriend and had gone on a date with Gregory, her ex-boyfriend.

Defense attorney David Hoffman told jurors it was Gregory who killed Reynolds. But prosecutors said Kolb was still accountable because she choked and beat Reynolds before Gregory "finished her off."

Prosecutors say the two took the girl's body to Kolb's grandparents' farm and burned it, then returned two days later, sawed the body into pieces and dumped the remains on the farm and in Black Hawk State Park in Rock Island.

In her first trial, Kolb testified that Gregory strangled Reynolds, then hit Kolb and threatened to kill her, her family and her cats if she reported the crime. Gregory, who has pleaded not guilty, denied that account in a television interview.

Kolb did not testify in her second trial, and the defense rested without presenting a case.

dayum
that's some cold shit...when i was 16...i didnt even think it was possible to think like that

and for a minute i thought it said two COUNTRIES, not counties...which shocked me even more...but nonetheless im fucking shocked

have that bitch locked the fuck up mmmkay thankx...
ohh rip her uterus out too, that way she can't pass her bad blood onward...

where did the parents go wrong? (yes i feel the parents play a heavy role in her upbringing and thus her surroundings) eventho you can't really control who a 16 year old hangs out with, but you can have influence on them as they're growing up which will in someway effect their choices, without them even knowing..

strage cosmos lately...
some 17 year old girl was arrested here for emailing her teachers @ her high shcool kiddie porn...which isn't as bad as manslaughter -- but still

WTF is going on with teenagers these days?

I get the feeling that God wasn't in this girl's life

Oh, of course. I know plenty of non-religious people that are more loving and accepting than religious ones, but all I know is I was raise with religion. My fear of God, especially as a child, kept me from doing awful things on this level...not that I wanted to anyway, but

You got that right. Plus fear of this:

was enough to keep me in check.
