speaking about killing anybody or hurting anybody. i have a huge heart and i would never, i m not capable of hurting somebody. would the jury agree? after a half day of deliberations a verdict. we the jury. in the above entitled cause find the defendant, diana lovjoy, guilty of the crime of attempted murder. guilty of attempted murder and conspiracy to commit murder and then something unexpected happened. weldon mcdavid, verdict. while he waited to hear his fate. diana collapsed, seemingly overcome with shock. help her! hey, folks. all right, we will be in recess. kucourt was adjourned and dia was handcuffed to a gurney and then went to a hospital, where
the court hearing resumed. and when they resumed, weldon learned he was found guilty. he addressed the court. i did not intend to shoot mr. mulvehill, i am sorry that i shot mr. mulvehill, it was an aimer error as i stated previously. sgl it s hard that people in the world think i have it in me to do this. i still care about greg i did love him. i loved him a lot. i just hope that that reality, the reality of what really happened and that what we intended comes out. and i believe it will some day. thank you. weldon was sentenced to 50
target. so you felt it was safer for everybody concerned for you to be dressed in camo, with an ar-15, propped up in the bushes, that was the saving thing to do. based on my training and my experience, yes, i thought that was the safest for everyone involved. reporter: but remember how dark it was the night of the shooting. the night of the new moon t prosecutor said that was no coincidence. diana purposely chose a night that weldon could hide unseen. there were google searches that ms. lovejoy had made regarding the new moon and when it was, and when the peak point of darkness was, which was the same time they lured him out there. reporter: and the prosecution had one more piece of evidence for the jury. a potential financial motive for murder. as part of the divorce settlement, diana owed greg
the biggest mistake. if i could take back anything, it would be that. if i could only take one thing back, i would take it away. i hurt my wife, and that means more to me than anything. weldon insisted is that the only thing that brought him to the dirt road was a desire to help diana and her son. did she have a hold on you or manipulated you in any way. no. no. it s been said that you have a misguided hero complex. i m no one s hero, not at all. and you know, it s, if you tried to help someone, if it s misguided hero. then, then, so be it. reporter: we went to diana s jail to speak with her as well. did you have a plan to kill greg? definitely not.
