SEATTLE (AP) — A Seattle-area club promoter who repeatedly stabbed a 28-year-old woman as she begged for her life has been convicted of first-degree murder.

A King County jury found 24-year-old Daniel Threadgill guilty Tuesday in the August 2010 death of Jennifer Walstrand.

The Seattle Times reports (http://is.gd/QhAzR5) that prosecutors say the victim suffered 63 stab wounds. They say Threadgill attacked her because she was a rival to one of his prostitutes.

He faces more than 30 years in prison. Sentencing is set for March 23.

Another woman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder and testified against Threadgill.
