A Lakewood resident and his friend were convicted today of the financially motivated murder of the man’s 70-year-old sister at her La Quinta home.
James Charles Oudin, 74, and Wesley Elwin Gibbs Jr., 46, of Hesperia, were convicted of first-degree murder for financial gain in the death of Oudin’s sister, Judy Munson. The jury deadlocked on a conspiracy charge.
