SAN JOSE — A jury reached guilty verdicts on all counts in the civil corruption trial of now-former Santa Clara County sheriff Laurie Smith, capping a monthlong trial that Smith nearly upended with her abrupt resignation from office, though a judge ultimately ordered the case to continue.
The six guilty verdicts were delivered Thursday afternoon and came at the end of juror deliberations that began Oct. 28.
