Ex-candidate Tan Nguyen found guilty of lying
By MARTIN WISCKOL
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER


Former congressional candidate Tan Nguyen was today found guilty of lying to investigators in a case stemming from 14,000 warning letters his campaign sent to Latinos in his failed 2006 challenge of Rep. Loretta Sanchez, D-Santa Ana.

The jury was hung 9-3 on a second felony count, which alleged that he tried to get a campaign aide to take the blame for the letter. This is the second trial on the federal charges, as a previous jury was hung on both counts in August.

The maximum Nguyen could receive when sentenced Feb. 14 is 20 years in federal prison. His lawyer, Dean Steward, called the odds that they'll appeal "very, very high."

Despite the hurdles ahead, Nguyen expressed relief that the trial was over.

"For the last four years, this has been a nightmare," he told reporters after the verdict.

Nguyen was convicted of obstruction of justice for telling investigators he had nothing to do with the letter when, in fact, he did.
