A woman accused of killing her husband, an online gambling executive, has finally been found guilty more than a decade later. She will be sentenced in January but will not receive the death penalty.
Aurea Vazquez Rijos had been found guilty of offering a man $3 million to kill Adam Anhang. That individual, Alex Pabon Colon, pleaded guilty 10 years ago to killing Anhang and testified for the prosecution. Another man who worked at the couple's Old San Juan restaurant had originally been charged with the murder but was later released.

Anyang was stabbed repeatedly and hit in the head with an object while walking with Vazquez through the cobblestone streets of Old San Juan in September 2005, just 12 hours after prosecutors said Anhang had asked for a divorce.
A jury of seven men and five women also convicted Vazquez's sister, Marcia Vazquez Rijos, and an ex-boyfriend of hers, Jose Ferrer Sosa. Defence attorneys said they would appeal the verdict.
