Jury quickly finds JF guilty on all 31 counts; sentencing set for Feb next year.
What a fiasco for him. If he'd taken the plea deal he, like JL, would have had all but one count dismissed & been sentenced to five years. For the whole 31 counts he's looking at 20+ years according to the sentencing guidelines. I doubt the judge will give him that much but it's going to be ugly for him.
