After two days of deliberations, a jury has found former sportscaster Don Tollefson guilty on all five counts of fraud and related charges.
WPVI reported that Tollefson spoke after his conviction, just before he was handcuffed and escorted to jail.
"The jury has spoken and I believe in our legal system," the 62-year-old said.
Bucks County Assistant District Attorney Matt Weintraub said he believes Tollefson is a “narcissist” who has a “God complex.”
The ex-Philadelphia sports broadcaster was accused of stealing hundreds of thousands from sports fans through fundraisers for charities.
As previously reported, earlier this month, he withdrew a guilty plea and elected to go to trial and act as his own attorney. Tollefson maintained throughout his trial that he did not defraud anyone, but rather was just bad at managing money. However, the jury did not agree with him.
The former on-air personality began his career working as a correspondent for the Associated Press in San Francisco. Later, he became a sportscaster in the Philadelphia area for the local ABC and FOX stations.
His sentencing date has not yet been announced.
