Self-Designated Prophet Convicted of 2 Slayings

Self-proclaimed prophet Dan Lafferty was found guilty Thursday of the throat-slashing deaths of his sister-in-law and her baby, murders that he contended had been ordered in a revelation from God.

The jury reached the verdict in the second day of deliberations. Lafferty, who had acted as his own attorney, did not dispute the killings. A sentencing date has not been set.
