Would-be assassin Aimee Betro, from West Allis in Wisconsin, flew into the country as part of a plot to attack a British family in Birmingham in 2019, before going on the run for nearly five years.
Her co-conspirators had been involved in a feud with the family, her trial heard.
During the case at Birmingham Crown Court, jurors were told Betro hid her identity using a niqab when she tried to fire shots on Measham Grove, Yardley, but her gun jammed and the individual at whom she had aimed fled the scene unharmed.
Jurors deliberated for almost 21 hours before convicting Betro of conspiracy to murder, possessing a self-loading pistol with intent to cause fear of violence, and illegally importing ammunition.
During the trial, they heard the defendant had been involved in a conspiracy with two men - Mohammed Nazir and Mohammed Aslam - as part of their vendetta against Birmingham businessman Aslat Mahumad.
Prosecutors said revenge was the men's motive after Nazir and Aslam were injured during disorder at Mr Mahumad's clothing boutique in July 2018.
A plot was hatched, the court heard, to have someone kill Mr Mahumad or a member of his family. That person was Betro.
...
Her convictions came after Nazir, 31, and his father Aslam, 59, both from Derby, were jailed last year having been convicted of conspiracy to murder.

Mussies and a white liberal woman...
> She was found guilty by a majority 11-1 verdict on the conspiracy to murder… <
It’s a bit of a side point, but the Brits got it right there. Our insistence on a unanimous verdict assume that all people are sane and logical. They are not.
Yeah, I know. “Twelve Angry Men”, and all that. So maybe a unanimous verdict is needed during the first week of deliberations. Then maybe 11-1.
That was a lot of work to commit a crime that failed at the last moment.
There’s a paywall on this one, but the search results had a pic of her father, mentioning that he’s serving seven years for somethin’.
‘I’ll call the police on her’... that’s what the mother of suspected hitwoman Aimee Betro says she’ll do if her daughter - who’s on a global wanted list - dares come home

Too bad “she’ll swing for this” is now just the stuff of novels and old detective series.
A superb motion picture. The one or two (or three) instances of juror misconduct tarnish it a bit, but that sort of thing probably happens all the time.
She looks like the next door neighbor from hell.
Just my opinion.

She looks like Napoleon Dynamite.
Hmm...three Mohammeds. Those Anglicans are getting out of control...
