Former New Jersey State Senator Bryant Found Guilty
|
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- Former New Jersey state Sen. Wayne Bryant has been convicted of bribery and fraud.
Tuesday's guilty verdict on all counts [NJ.com] comes on the third day of jury deliberations. The trial lasted eight weeks.
The once powerful Camden County Democrat was accused of being paid for a job that required no work at a scandal-ridden state university in exchange for securing state funding for it.
Bryant, a former chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, was accused of using that job and two others where he did little or no work to fraudulently triple his state pension.
