The fate of a Nebraska woman found guilty in the murder of Sydney Loofe will be decided in court.

An aggravation and mitigation hearing to find if Bailey Boswell will get the death penalty or life in prison began on Wednesday in Saline County.

She was found guilty of first-degree murder of the 24-year-old last year. 

Boswell's co-defendant, Aubrey Trail, has already received the death penalty for the crime. 

The three-judge panel will look at the case and decide if there are aggravating factors that would warrant the death penalty.
