CAMDEN, Ark. (AP) — A Ouachita County jury has convicted a Camden woman of first-degree murder in her husband's death.
According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, the panel found Felicia Wilson guilty of the reduced charge Friday in the fatal shooting of William Wilson, whose body was found on a rural roadside. She was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
Prosecutors alleged that Felicia Wilson and her lover, Eric Colten, plotted the killing. Authorities say when William Wilson called her to ask for a ride, Felicia Wilson and Colten lured him to a deserted road where Colten shot him.
Colten pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life in prison.
Defense attorney, Eugene Bramlett argued that Felicia Wilson hadn't plotted to kill her husband, and that Colten killed him following an argument.
