Larry Maxwell Goes Down Hard: "Aggravating Factors" Found On All 18 Guilty Verdicts!!!

Photo By John Hoff 


After finding Larry Maxwell guilty on 18 criminal counts, today the long-serving jury was given the additional task of determining whether "aggravating factors" existed on each of the counts. A count which receives a "yes" answer--ANY KIND OF "YES" ANSWER, even if there are also some "no" answers on the same count--will merit an "upward enhancement."

Don't you just LOVE legal euphemisms? "Upward enhancement" is legalese for "more time in the big house."

The short, get-it-out-quick-on-the-internet story is the jury found at least one aggravating factor on every criminal count, which means Larry D. Maxwell probably has a new nickname:

Larry "Maximum" Maxwell.

Larry Reed argued for his client to remain free on bail before sentencing, but Judge Chu was not persuaded. Maxwell remains in jail. Sentencing will not be for another two weeks to a month.

The photo above shows the water fountain on the second floor of the Hennepin County Government Center, where the wife of identity theft victim John Foster learned of yesterday's guilty verdict. The bench in the background is where Larry Maxwell spent some of his very last moments as a free man.
