“Bridgegate” has yielded another round of convictions.* After a six-week trial and five days of jury deliberations, two of New Jersey governor Chris Christie’s former aides were found guilty this morning of offenses related to the politically motivated closing of lanes leading to the George Washington bridge. Bill Baroni, former deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and Bridget Anne Kelly, Christie’s former deputy chief of staff, were convicted of fraud, conspiracy, and failing to uphold civil rights. Both aides face up to 20 years in prison.
