I am sad and depressed to have to post this. I spoke with this kind and personable man for the first time a couple of days ago. He was very positive about the trial and thought that it looked good for him, though of course he was concerned at the same instant. I expected to hear from Ofer a short while ago and when I did not, I went searching for news and found the worst. Lupovitz was convicted, but that is the only story at this moment and news reporters have not expounded on the statement so we do not know if the conviction was on all counts or one or why.
I will edit this post as soon as I have more information.
Edit @10:25pm EST
Ofer was convicted on the conspiracy and pimping counts and found not guilty on the pandering charge. There will be an appeal filed over an actual error, a mistake in the jury instructions, but other problems are involved as the money laundering counts enter the picture if there was a conviction on any charge. Mr. Lupovitz is out on bail pending sentencing and having dinner at this moment. So sad.
