Bishop Lamor Whitehead, known for his love of jewelry and designer clothing, has been found guilty of several charges. He took the savings of a parishioner and asked a businessman for money to get the alderman's favors in an investment.

The jury needed only three hours to reach the verdict. The bishop faces a sentence of up to 45 years in prison and the sentence will be announced on July 1. “This story is not over... It's just a new chapter,” Whitehead wrote on social media this Tuesday morning.
