Attorney Robert Simels was convicted Thursday of 12 felony counts -- including bribery of a witness, attempted witness tampering and conspiracy to commit witness tampering -- stemming from his efforts to prevent potential witnesses from testifying against his client, a Guyanese drug smuggler. Simels was acquitted of only the least serious charge against him, making a false statement to a corrections officer in order to visit an inmate. Simels' former associate, Arienne Irving, was convicted of five of 11 counts.
