U.S. marshal guilty of leaking secrets to Chicago Mob

USA Today reports:

A deputy U.S. marshal has been convicted in Chicago of leaking secret information to the mob about a protected witness in a federal organized crime investigation.

Deputy marshal John T. Ambrose stared straight ahead as jurors returned the verdict Tuesday following almost three days of deliberation.

Prosecutors say it was the first time in the 39-year history of the government's witness security program that its secrecy was deliberately violated.

We will have more on this later.
