The jury in the case against former Los Angeles Angels communications director Eric Kay has found him guilty of distributing fentanyl and causing the death of former pitcher Tyler Skaggs in 2019.
The jury, which began deliberations Thursday morning, wasted little time in reaching its conclusion.
Kay was immediately taken into custody while his family sat in silence as the verdict was read.
Skaggs' wife, Carli, and mother Debbie Hetman, shared an emotional hug upon hearing the verdict.
Sentencing for Kay has been set for June 28.
