TRENTON - Although he has proclaimed his innocence since FBI agents raided his home and City Hall, Trenton Mayor Tony Mack was found guilty today.

A jury returned the verdict after seven and a half hours of deliberations, saying that the first-term mayor is guilty of all counts in his corruption trial.

Mack stood trial beside his brother Ralphiel Mack who was found guilty of three of the six counts against him.

“The jury’s verdict solidly affirms what we first charged more than a year ago – that Tony Mack, with the helping hands of his brother and their cohorts, sold the mayor’s office and sold out the people of Trenton,” U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman said. “We are very grateful to the members of the jury for their service.”

During the trial, which began on Jan. 6, consisted of 14 days of testimony including one defense witness who testified for only 10 minutes. Neither the mayor nor his brother took the stand in his own defense.
