Jurors convicted 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 Federal Bureau of Investigation 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 United States Court of Appeals 9th Circuit.
