Reality TV star James “Tim” Norman was convicted on all charges after the jury deliberated for about 17 hours. He faced two federal murder-for-hire counts and one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud.
A St. Louis jury Friday found former St. Louis reality TV star James “Tim” Norman guilty of conspiring to kill his nephew.
Norman and his nephew starred in “Welcome to Sweetie Pie’s,” a long-running OWN reality show about the popular soul-food business Robbie Montgomery — Norman’s mother and Andre’s grandmother — founded in the St. Louis area.Assistant United States Attorney Angie Danis made the case in closing argument for the prosecution that Norman initiated the murder plot in hopes of a payout.
Norman made the rare decision for a criminal defendant to take the stand in his own defense in the final day of testimony Tuesday. The defense called former Sweetie Pie’s employees and other character witnesses who said Norman and his nephew were close. He also emphasized that the shooter, Hill, who prosecutors called Norman’s “hired gun,” said: “Nobody else should be responsible for my actions but me. I looked up to Tim as a mentor.”
