From Oz to Dr.Phil. At least they havent turned out to be murderers.
Tim Norman found guilty in murder for hire plot to kill his nephew for insurance money. You never know the evil that lies in some people. He took out insurance on his nephew then had him murdered. Watching that show, no one would have guessed he was capable of murder.
Norman and his nephew, Andre Montgomery, starred in the long-running OWN reality show about a popular soul-food business founded in the St. Louis area by Robbie Montgomery Normans mother and Andres grandmother.

Federal prosecutors said Norman, 43, hired two people to kill the 21-year-old Montgomery on March 14, 2016, then tried to cash a $450,000 life insurance policy taken out on his nephew months earlier.

Prosecutors said Norman paid $10,000 to an exotic dancer, Terica Ellis, to lure his nephew to the site where he was shot and paid $5,000 to Travell Anthony Hill to shoot Montgomery. Ellis and Hill both testified for the prosecution in the case. They have both pleaded guilty to participating in the scheme.
In testimony during the trial, Norman said he helped his nephew move to St. Louis about 18 months before he was killed and supported him financially because he was trying to watch out for Montgomery. He said he sought to be a father figure to his brothers son.

One of my former bosses just loved Dr. Oz, so much so she never missed a show. It was all I could do to not say something.
