A Washington state jury found former Punta Gorda resident James Huden guilty of the Christmastime 2003 murder of Russel Douglas.
The jury found Huden guilty Monday afternoon of first-degree murder with a weapon and a particularly vulnerable victim. The jury ruled that Douglas was vulnerable at the time because he was seated and buckled in his Geo Tracker when he pulled into a driveway in Freeland, Wash., where Huden shot him in the head.
