 AP - Sunday, May  3
CASSVILLE, Mo. - A southwest Missouri woman convicted of second-degree murder committed suicide at home before she could be sentenced.

Barry County authorities say 47-year-old Adella Fae Patton, of Monett, died Friday after taking an overdose of medication.
Patton was out on bond and awaiting sentencing after being found guilty Thursday of second-degree murder and armed criminal action in the death of her on-again, off-again boyfriend.
The judge had allowed Patton's $250,000 bond to remain in place after the guilty verdict.
Coroner Jim Fohn confirmed Patton's death was a suicide and says the woman left behind notes indicating she could not serve time in prison.
At trial, Patton said she shot and killed 45-year-old Kevin L. Madison of rural Exeter in self-defense in December 2005.
