After delaying the trial for more than an hour Oliver Lawrence was convicted of 16 charges. Lawrence had previously been convicted of over 150 charges — all suspended. Concerned citizens from Battery Park and Highland Park were in attendance.

RTD has more:

Before yesterday, Lawrence already had been convicted of at least 152 misdemeanor property violations, fined $357,050 and sentenced to 270 days in jail, all suspended. Those charges stem from problems at more than 30 properties owned by Lawrence.

The fines and jail time were suspended as long as he doesn’t commit further violations.

Yesterday, city officials said Lawrence has not met that condition.

Ross loves his family, Richmond, and beer (in that order). He is the master and commander of the good ship RVANews. Occasionally he takes a picture or two.
