WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ A Wichita woman is convicted of murder in a deadly stabbing caught on surveillance video at a convenience store.

Jurors in Sedgwick County District Court deliberated less than three hours Monday before finding Cherish McCullough guilty of first-degree murder.

Videotape showed McCullough and fellow customer LaShanda Callaway arguing at the Wichita store on June 23, 2007. The tape showed McCullough leaving the store, returning with a knife and stabbing the 27-year-old victim in the abdomen.

The defense argued McCullough acted in self-defense.

The case received attention at the time because the tape also showed at least five shoppers stepping over Callaway as she lay wounded. One customer stopped to take a picture of her with a cell phone.

Someone needs to tell Ralph that the Fiesta Mexicana does not support Holy Name School as he stated at 4:00---it is Our Lady of Guadalupe.

RESPONSE: Actually, it is Holy Family School. Our Lady of Guadalupe combined with Sacred Heart to create Holy Family school a couple years ago. Ralph misspoke by calling it Holy Name. Our apologies.
