James “Tim” Norman, the former star of the St Louis-based reality TV series Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s, has been convicted of arranging the killing of his nephew.
A federal jury reached its verdict on Friday (16 September) in the murder-for-hire case against Norman, the St Louis Post-Dispatch reported. He was charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire, and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud.
Norman and his nephew, Andre Montgomery, both starred in the long-running OWN reality show about a popular soul-food business founded in the St Louis area by Robbie Montgomery – Norman’s mother and Andre’s grandmother.
Prosecutors are not seeking the death penalty, but Norman could be sentenced to life in prison. Sentencing is set for 15 December.
Federal prosecutors said Norman, 43, hired two people to kill the 21-year-old Montgomery on 14 March 2016, then tried to cash a 450,000 life insurance policy taken out on his nephew months earlier.

In honour of the release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra this week, I thought I would scour the internet and my own memory to unearth some of the weirdest and lamest G.I. Joe action figures ever released. Considering the vast number of toys that Hasbro produced throughout the '80s and early '90s, you can bet there were more than a few stinkers. Here's to hoping some of these characters end up appearing in the sequel! Chuckles Every military operation needs a network of top notch spies, and G.I. Joe is no different. I'm not quite sure why their undercover specialist would be wearing the loudest, most attention-grabbing Hawaiian shirt, but hey, what do I know? As for his wacky codename, apparently he is just a fun guy with a knack for "cracking jokes and punching shoulders" with the enemy. I'd definitely grab a beer with the dude.
