A judge has again found Timothy Smith guilty of first-degree murder in the shooting death of the 48-year-old man who responded to an online post advertising sex with Smith's pregnant wife. The verdict was announced in McHenry County court Thursday by Judge Sharon Prather – the same judge who sentenced Smith to 50 years in prison for Prairie Grove man Kurt Milliman's death after a 2013 jury trial. The case was sent back on appeal in 2015, however, on the grounds Prather should have allowed jurors to convict Smith of involuntary manslaughter as an alternative verdict to first-degree murder. Smith's family entered the courtroom Thursday, hoping Prather might convict the 34-year-old of second-degree murder.
