At the end of a four day trial, the jury found 54 year old James Addie of Santa Fe guilty of murder and armed criminal action in the death of 35 year old Molly Watson.
Addie is alleged to have had a seven year affair with Watson, and the two were engaged to be married, even though Addie was married and had been for 23 years.
