A federal court jury convicted Reynolds on 31 counts of mail fraud, two counts of racketeering and three counts of income tax fraud for accepting more than $60,000 in bribes to fix cases and steer clients to crooked attorneys. Reynolds faces a maximum sentence of 204 years in prison and a fine of $96,000, prosecutors said. A sentencing hearing is set for June 26.
