Florida Senator Found Guilty of theft
ORLANDO, Fla. Aug 15, 2006 (AP)— A state senator was found guilty Monday on charges that he misused taxpayer money by having state employees work to support his re-election campaign in 2004.
The jury deliberated about three hours before finding Gary Siplin, a Democrat, guilty of third-degree grand theft of $5,000 or more, a felony, and using services of employees for his candidacy, a misdemeanor. No employees were charged.
He faces up to five years in jail on the felony charge, court officials said.
