Atlanta, GA: Ala. woman convicted in Atlanta in husband's death

ATLANTA (AP) — An Alabama woman has been convicted of murder and other charges in Atlanta in the killing of her husband.

The Fulton County district attorney's office says 38-year-old Constance Clark of Birmingham has been convicted by a Superior Court jury in the 2005 contract killing of 35-year-old William Eric Clark.

The Prosecutors say the woman took out a $500,000 life insurance policy on her husband and renewed a previous $100,000 policy before arranging with her cousin, Jean Pierre Devaughn, to kill her spouse. She was sentenced to life plus five years in prison.

Devaughn was convicted in April and sentenced to life in prison on the same counts.

Prosecutors say Devaughn lured the man to a partly completed subdivision in College Park, where he shot him multiple times.
