A jury found Andrew and Shirley Hamilton guilty of resisting arrest with violence after a six hour trial.

The case also involved disorderly conduct allegations from a nighttime incident at a Eustis nightclub and later events at the jail lobby. Deputy Taylor, formerly linked to manslaughter, was described as a rehabilitation figure during the proceedings.
