A man arrested for attacking an Indianapolis woman in September 2011 as she was loading her car for a trip to the airport
was convicted of numerous felonies Wednesday. Vincent Smith, 25, was convicted of rape, two counts of criminal confinement
and one count each of criminal deviate conduct, auto theft and attempted robbery. Smith, who represented himself, faces a
separate trial on charges that he stabbed an 18-year-old woman multiple times before setting her west-side house on fire in
August 2011.
