PHILADELPHIA (AP) - The eccentric older brother of Philadelphia's last mayor was convicted of three tax-evasion charges Friday but acquitted of four fraud counts over what prosecutors had described as a kickback scheme at the city-owned airport.
The jury, which deliberated for nearly three days, deadlocked on two other tax-related counts against T. Milton Street Sr.
Street, 68, had pleaded not guilty to all nine charges in an indictment that said he took advantage of his relationship with then-Mayor John F. Street to make $30,000 a month as a consultant and minority subcontractor at the airport from 2001 to 2004.
