'Welcome to Sweetie Pie's' star James "Tim" Norman is guilty of arranging the murder of his nephew...according to a Missouri jury.

The former reality TV star was convicted of three counts: murder-for-hire, conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, and conspiracy to commit fraud by mail and wire – after the jury has deliberated for 3 days.

As we reported, Norman was arrested by federal authorities who accused him of orchestrating the murder of André Montgomery, his nephew. Prosecutors said Norman orchestrated the 21-year-old's murder. Andrew was shot and killed on March 14, 2016.

Prosecutors say Norman, owner of Sweetie Pie's restaurant, tried to cash in on a $450,000 life insurance policy taken out on his nephew after he worked with a woman named Terica Ellis to pull off the murder .

Ellis was also charged with conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire and pleaded guilty. She will be sentenced next month.

Both Tim and Andre played on the OWN network...
