Man Accused in 2 Killings Convicted in Other Cases

A man awaiting trial in the 2009 slayings of a nurse and her 20-year-old daughter has been convicted on 11 federal charges in other crimes.

After a three-week trial, 28-year-old Jason Thomas Scott, of Upper Marlboro, Md., was convicted of carjacking, production of child pornography, theft and gun charges committed during a series of home invasions and burglaries. He will be sentenced Oct. 31.

Scott was indicted in July 2009 on two counts of first-degree murder in the slayings of Delores Dewitt and her daughter Ebony. Their bodies were found in March 2009 in a burning car in Largo. That trial is scheduled to begin in November.
