“Convicted felons, like Anthony Bradley, who unlawfully possess firearms contribute to the plague of gun violence threatening our local communities,” said U.S. Attorney Steven D. Weinhoeft. “The jury’s verdict holds Bradley accountable for his wrongful possession and supports our office’s commitment to ensure the safety of southern Illinois.  I commend the effort of ISP’s Public Safety Enforcement Group for their continued efforts in bringing these offenders to justice.”
