This Monday, Nov. 13, 2017 frame from video provided by KGTV/10News shows Donna Lovejoy being helped by a bailiff after she collapsed in a San Diego, Calif., courtroom after hearing she had been found guilty in what authorities called a botched murder-for-hire plot targeting her husband, who was shot but survived. Lovejoy and her firearms instructor, Weldon McDavid Jr., second from right, were convicted separately Monday of charges including conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. (KGTV/10News via AP) VISTA, Calif. (AP) A woman collapsed in a California courtroom after hearing she had been found guilty in what authorities called a botched murder-for-hire plot targeting her husband, who was shot but survived. Diana Lovejoy and her firearms instructor, Weldon McDavid Jr., were convicted separately Monday of charges including conspiracy to commit murder and attempted murder, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported. There were gasps when Lovejoy passed out and fell, and her family members sobbed and asked for someone to help her. Judge Sim von Kalinowski cleared the courtroom so the 45-year-old could receive medical attention. MORE: Collier man accused of killing family has outburst in court A TV reporter who attended to Lovejoy before paramedics wheeled her out on a gurney told the newspaper it appeared that she had been overcome by shock. After court resumed, the same jury then returned guilty verdicts against McDavid. As his family watched, the 50-year-old put his head in his hands and cried. Lovejoy, of Carlsbad, faces at least 25 years to life in prison. McDavid, who pulled the trigger, faces 50 years to life. Sentencing was set for Dec. 12. At the time of the shooting, Lovejoy and her then-husband, Greg Mulvihill, were in the midst of heated divorce. The two sides reached an agreement that they would share custody of their young son and that Lovejoy would pay Mulvihill $120,000. That payment was due weeks after he was shot. “She didn’t want to share custody, and she didn’t want to give $120,000 to her husband,” jury forewoman Erin Reed told the Union-Tribune.

The question was whether the expert gunman did it as a $2,000 hired hitman, or whether he was simply trying to shoot out the light Mulvihill was carrying in his left hand. McDavid — a former Marine and School of Infantry instructor from Oceanside— testified that it was the latter, that had he intended to kill the man, he could have easily done so. The bullet struck him under his left armpit, and exited out of his back. Lovejoy did not testify. Jurors told the newspaper they didn’t buy McDavid’s testimony. One juror said that among the strongest pieces of evidence was testimony from Lovejoy’s aunt, who said that a year before the shooting, Lovejoy had asked her if she knew someone who would scare or kill her husband.
