Former Governor John Rowland Found Guilty on All 7 Counts
A jury unanimously found former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland guilty on all seven counts in a campaign finance conspiracy scheme in New Haven federal court Friday.
Rowland, 57, was convicted of conspiring with Brian Foley, the husband of 2012 congressional candidate Lisa Wilson-Foley, to hide $35,000 in payments for work he did on her campaign.
He offered to do the same for Fifth-District Republican candidate Mark Greenberg, who took the stand as the prosecution's first witness. Greenberg said Rowland offered to serve as a consultant during his 2010 congressional run but asked to be paid through Greenberg's animal rescue group.
The conviction comes 10 years after Rowland, a Republican who also served in the House of Representatives, stepped down as governor amid an earlier corruption investigation that sent him to federal prison for 10 months.
