A Wake County jury has found Thomas Wright guilty of felony obstruction of justice.
Judge Donald Stephens announced the verdict at 11:53 a.m. Wednesday, after about two and a half hours of deliberation Tuesday and Wednesday.
Sentencing is set to begin.
UPDATE: Wright's attorney Doug Harris said he intends to appeal.
UPDATE II: Stephens sentenced Wright to six to eight months in state prison, to run concurrently with his existing prison term. Wright will not serve extra time for the conviction.
UPDATE III: Wake District Attorney Colon Willoughby did not call for consecutive sentences, which would have meant more prison time. "I don't think it's in the state's interests to extend the time of his incarceration," Willoughby said.
