Yes

Explanation:

Yes George can be found guilty of soliciting murder, provided his statement was heard by more than two or more witness and can be proven in court.

Soliciting to commit murder simply entails nursing an intention to engage someone in commiting murder. This person can either be a Hitman or an Assassin.
