A Youngstown woman was found guilty Friday of murdering her husband nearly two years ago.
A jury found Monique Williams did not shoot her husband, Julius, out of self-defense as she had originally claimed.
After a four-day trial, the jury, instead, ruled that Williams committed murder in April of 2008.
The victim's family also said they are very pleased with Friday's ruling.
"We knew that she was guilty," said Julius's niece, Martesha Cain. "We're just happy that the jury found her guilty and that we can go on with our lives, and that it's over. We don't have to keep coming down here, going through this."
Williams faces a mandatory 18 years to life in prison when she is sentenced next week.
