DADE CITY, Fla. (AP) -- A Zephyrhills man has been convicted of
taking part in the rape and robbery of a 66-year-old woman.

A Pasco County jury found 21-year-old Jathniel McMichael guilty
on Wednesday of home invasion robbery, sexual battery and battery
on a person 65 or older.

Authorities say McMichael and 22-year-old Bobby Lee Black III
broke into the woman's home in March 2007 and raped her at
knifepoint. The two reportedly raped another woman three weeks
later.

Black was tried for both attacks last year and sentenced to life
in prison. McMichael also faces life in prison at his sentencing.

A third suspect, who reportedly stayed in the car, testified
against McMichael and Black.
