Former Teamsters official William Hamilton was convicted November 19 of six counts of corrupt practices related to the use of nearly $1 million in union funds to finance the reelection campaign of former union president Ron Carey. A jury deliberated for only two days before returning a verdict of guilt on all counts, including conspiracy, embezzlement, fraud, and making false statements to a federal elections officer.

The five-week trial in federal district court in New York City produced extensive testimony about the role of top AFL-CIO officials and Democratic Party fundraisers in the illegal scheme. The principal evidence against Hamilton came from three other participants in the Carey fundraising effort—Jere Nash, Martin Davis and Michael Ansara—and former Democratic National Committee treasurer Richard Sullivan.
