Attempted murderer found guilty

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - She pulled the trigger on two people, leaving them within an inch of death.

A Buffalo woman has been convicted on all counts in a north Buffalo double shooting. Adrienne March tried to kill to two people and was found guilty.

Bob Coleman expresses relief after the verdict from an Erie County Court jury Friday afternoon. His daughter, Kiele, was one of March's shooting victims.

"Justice, it really came through. That's really all we want to say," he exclaimed.

Coleman explained, "Everyone is with Kiele 24/7. We have to take her to the restroom. We have to take her to the table. We have to do everything for her still."

The shooting took place last March in a car on St. Lawrence Avenue in Buffalo. March claimed the other victim, Frank Militello, was her drug supplier and that the shootings were in self-defense.

March's attorney, Joseph Terranova, said, "Her view was she was defending deadly physical force with deadly physical force. She was in a bad spot and did what she did to survive."

For the Coleman family, their attention turns to helping Kiele.

"We have a long road ahead. I think in about a year we are going to take her to Philadelphia to take a nerve from her leg and put in the right side of her face so she can use that side of her face. We work every day on therapy with her," said Coleman.

He added, "Her left arm is paralyzed. Technically her left leg is paralyzed."

She has also lost vision in her right eye and hearing in her right ear. Despite the challenges ahead, Coleman says, "She definitely has a sense of humor. She's a good girl. She told me, 'Dad, I'm not going to let this get me down. It's only going to make me stronger.'"

March faces a minimum of 15 years to life in prison when she is sentenced on December 18. March's attorney tells News 4 the conviction will be be appealed.
