Ex-partner convicted of killing a racing legend and his wife... 19 years after their deaths

From CNN.com

PASADENA, California (AP) -- After nearly 19 years of pursuing justice for her slain racing star brother and his wife, Collene Campbell walked out of a courthouse and waved a checkered flag.
Campbell, 74, waved the victory banner Thursday on behalf of Mickey and Trudy Thompson after a jury convicted the racer's former business partner, Michael Goodwin, of murder. Jurors also agreed with prosecutors' allegations of special circumstance of lying in wait and multiple murder.
"I was the one that everybody called the pain in the butt that wouldn't let go of it," Campbell said.
When the verdict was read, Goodwin, 61, only shook his head slightly. He faces life in prison at his sentencing March 1.
