SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - Jesse James Hollywood has been
convicted of the kidnap and murder of a 15-year-old boy that
inspired the 2007 movie "Alpha Dog."

A Santa Barbara jury on Wednesday also found the 29-year-old
Hollywood guilty after deliberating for about four days.

Prosecutors say Hollywood orchestrated the kidnapping and
eventual killing of Nicholas Markowitz in August 2000 because the
teen's half brother owed a drug debt.

Nicholas was taken to Santa Barbara and held for several days
before he was shot and buried in a shallow grave. Four others have
been convicted in connection with the crime.
