A Washoe District Court jury has found Chaz Higgs guilty of killing his wife, Nevada Controller Kathy Augustine.
The eight-woman, four-man jury deliberated for about seven hours before convicting Higgs on the single murder count.
Higgs, a critical-care nurse, was charged last December with injecting Augustine with a lethal dose of succinylcholine, a drug used to paralyze the body when a breathing tube is inserted. She died July 11 after being on life support for three days.
Higgs got life with the possibility of parole after 20 years.
