The pair was also guilty of aggravated burglary for entering Harris' Main Street home without permission in an attempt to arrest a man wanted for bond-jumping.
In the chaos, Jaeger ended up shooting Harris with Hubber's gun.
Both face possible life sentences.
Hubber also is scheduled for a trial on June 24 for allegedly tampering with evidence in connection with this case. However, these charges could be dropped depending on his upcoming sentencing on the homicide charge.
