Wright-Robinson was charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Her arrest comes just over a week after the indictment of Billy R. Turner in the same case. Turner was a deacon at Wright-Robinson's church, and authorities believe they conspired together to have Wright killed.

Fans have often suspected that Wright-Robinson was responsible for Wright's death in some way. They point to her dodgey behavior in interviews, as well as her her potential financial motives for the killing. Now those fans feel vindicated.

Lorenzen Wright's ex-wife has been charged with his murder. In 2015, SI investigated and asked Wright's ex-wife if she had any part in the murder.

Her response is chilling. https://t.co/CnhS2e7bQ2 pic.twitter.com/2Z1DwzHB6B
