Ernie Newton convicted again

Shortly before 3:30 p.m., a state court jury convicted the 58-year-old, longtime Bridgeport politician on three charges of illegal practices in campaign financing and acquitted him on a charge of tampering with a witness. Additionally, the three-man, three-woman jury informed Superior Court Judge Julia D. Dewey they were unable to reach a verdict on four other charges -- two more counts of illegal practices in campaign financing and two counts of first-degree larceny.
