Bridgegate - Guilty On All Charges


NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Two former aides to Gov. Chris Christie were convicted Friday of creating an epic traffic jam at the George Washington Bridge for what prosecutors say was political revenge, capping a trial that cast doubt on Christie's claims he knew nothing about the scheme.
Bridget Kelly, Christie's former deputy chief of staff, and Bill Baroni, a Christie appointee to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, were found guilty of all counts against them.
Kelly cried as the verdict was read, while Baroni showed no emotion.
The most serious charges carry up to 20 years in prison. Sentencing was scheduled for Feb. 21.
