Jury convicts demolition man over accident that killed six people.
A demolition contractor charged in the deaths of six people buried in debris from a building collapse was found guilty Monday of involuntary manslaughter.
A jury convicted Griffin Campbell of six counts of involuntary manslaughter, rejecting the third-degree murder charges sought by prosecutors.Campbell had described himself as a scapegoat for the architect overseeing the blocklong demolition project.
