A federal jury deliberated over parts of three days before finding the once-powerful legislator guilty of selling his office for personal gain and inflating his state pension with work he did not perform at a Stratford medical school.
The jurors declined to discuss the case as they left the courthouse.
Bryant's co-defendant, Dr. R. Michael Gallagher, 59, of Haddonfield, was found guilty of six of seven counts of carrying out a bribery scheme with Bryant at UMDNJ's School of Osteopathic Medicine. Gallagher also faces 15 years or more of prison time."
