DALLAS – It took a jury only a few hours to come to their decision of guilty in the murder for hire trial against 52-year-old John Fiala.

According to police, this all began back in 2008 when Fiala met the then 16-year-old in Rock Springs, Texas.

We’re told the boy often traveled to Big Spring to visit a girlfriend.

Investigators say Fiala eventually set the boy up in an apartment in Big Spring and even enrolled him in the school district as a homeless person.

The teen’s parents became suspicious and called authorities.
