After more than 17 hours of deliberating, the jury issued a verdict in the murder-for-hire trial of Tim Norman.
The "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's" reality TV star was found guilty on all charges. He was charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire resulting in death and mail fraud.
Sentencing is set for Dec. 15.
Norman and his family are known for the reality TV show "Welcome to Sweetie Pie's" on the Oprah Winfrey Network, which ran for several seasons.
Back in 2020, he was accused of masterminding the death of his nephew, Andre Montgomery Jr. in 2016.
Court documents show Norman took out a life insurance policy on Montgomery for $450,000 in 2014.
Defense attorneys for Norman said they plan to appeal the verdict. They say Norman is staying positive.
Three others have been charged and pleaded guilty for their roles.
