A federal jury this morning found one of two brothers guilty on one count of selling firearms to a convicted felon.
Carl Monroe, 68, said after the hearing that he and his brother Richard Monroe, 49, hadn’t done anything wrong and that he wasn’t guilty.
Richard Monroe declined to comment.
Prosecutors charged the Athens, Tenn., brothers with selling firearms without a license. The jury acquitted Richard Monroe on the four counts against him and found Carl not guilty on his remaining seven counts.
Carl faces sentencing on April 25 along with Jack Wardlaw of Columbia, Tenn.
