GUILTY CA - Angelina Arias, 20, killed in carjacking, Lake Elsinore, 17 Oct 2007

Anna Alejandra Salinas, who was 15 when she shot 20-year-old Angelina Arias in the head as the woman gave Salinas and co-defendant Dayana Cordova ride home, was sentenced to 59 years to life in prison.

Because of her age at the time of the Oct. 18, 2007, murder, Salinas, now 17, could not be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. But Cordova, who was 16 at the time, was sentenced to life without parole.

Cordova, now 18, also received a nine-year sentence for child abuse and kidnapping because she and Salinas drove around with the victim's 9-month-old daughter for about two hours before leaving her on someone's Lake Elsinore doorstep. The baby was not found by the home's residents for at least two hours.
