WOBURN -- After a three-week trial, a Middlesex Superior Court jury found a Dracut man guilty on Monday of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the 2006 murder-for-hire shooting death of Edward Schiller in a Newton parking garage.
Scott Foxworth, 55, will be sentenced Monday afternoon. He will receive a mandatory sentence of life in prison without parole.
The jury was deliberating for about seven hours between Friday and Monday before reaching its verdict.
Prosecutor Adrienne Lynch had alleged that Foxworth, who had a conviction for second-degree murder, was paid $10,000 by James Brescia, a jilted husband, to kill Schiller, a 39-year-old insurance agent. Schiller was dating Brescia's estranged wife. Brescia wanted Schiller out of the way so that he could reconcile with his wife.
