NEW HAVEN, Conn., Sept. 19 (UPI) -- Former Connecticut Gov. John Rowland, forced out of office a decade ago by a corruption conviction, was found guilty Friday of new charges.
A jury in federal court in New Haven deliberated for five hours before finding that Rowland took secret payments for working as a consultant to Republican Lisa Wilson-Foley's losing 2012 congressional campaign. Prosecutors said the payments were laundered through Apple Rehab, a nursing home company owned by Wilson-Foley's husband in violation of campaign financing laws.
