SAN FRANCISCO — Nearly eight years passed from the time FBI agents raided corporate recruiter David Nosal’s office in 2005 to the start of his criminal trial this month in San Francisco federal court.

After deliberating for just over two days, the jury on Wednesday found Nosal, 55, guilty of conspiracy, stealing trade secrets and violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act — handing the U.S. attorney’s office a complete trial victory in a high-profile and challenging white-collar prosecution.
