Huguely had faced first-degree murder and felony murder charges for his involvement in Loves' death May 3, 2010.
After deliberating for nearly nine hours, the jury returned its guilty verdict at 6:48 last night and the trial then progressed to the sentencing portion. Second-degree murder carries a maximum sentence of 40 years and a minimum of five years, while grand larceny can range from 1 to 20 years imprisonment.
