    • James Sexton

    A federal court jury convicted James Sexton, age 29, of conspiracy and obstruction of justice in a scheme aimed at hiding an inmate who had been working as a federal informant. Jurors convicted James Sexton after deliberating for roughly two hours about his involvement in handling the inmate at the Men’s Central Jail. A previous trial of Sexton earlier in 2014 had ended with jurors deadlocked six to six. Prosecutors argued that Sexton was an integral part of a plot to hide inmate Anthony Brown, an FBI informant, in an effort to stymie the federal probe and prevent abuses by deputies from coming to light. Sexton’s attorney argued differently, and has appealed the court’s decision in the US Court of Appeals 9th Circuit.
