The jury has reached a verdict in the Natalie Cochran murder trial.
They will deliver their verdict shortly in Raleigh County Circuit Court.
Natalie has been charged with first-degree murder in the Feb. 2019 death of her husband, Michael.
If found guilty, she faces up to life in prison, though the jury could decide to grand her mercy, making Natalie eligible for parole after a set number of years.
If found not guilty of murder, the jury can still find Natalie guilty of involuntary manslaughter, which is a misdemeanor and carries up to a year sentence and up to a $1,000 fine.
The prosecution has alleged Natalie killed Michael by injecting him with insulin to prevent him from learning of her more than $2 million Ponzi scheme, which she admitted to running from 2017 to 2019.
Natalie is currently serving 11 years in federal prison for money laundering and wire fraud related to the Ponzi scheme.
