Jurors began deliberations Tuesday in the trial of two co-founders and two employees of now-defunct MultiEthnic Behavioral Health Inc.
On Wednesday, the two company co-founders, Mickal Kamuvaka and Solomon Manamela, were found guilty of all charges, including wire and health care fraud. Two employees, Julius Juma Murray and Mariam Coulibaly, were convicted on 17 of 20 counts.
The four defendants were on trial for allegedly defrauding the city of millions of dollars by failing to make visits to needy families.
The charges are related to Kelly's 2006 death. Her emaciated body was covered with maggot-infested sores when she died. Kelly had cerebral palsy and couldn't fend for herself.
Prosecutors say the four defendants took the government's money, but rarely, if ever, checked in on the children in their care.
"Danieal Kelly paid the ultimate price for these defendants' fraud," said prosecutor Bea Witzleben. "We hope that this is some measure of justice for her and the other children who were the victims, really, of this fraud." Attorneys for the co-founders said they are victims of dishonest employees.
The lawyer for an employee assigned to Kelly said he missed signs of her worsening condition. An attorney for the fourth defendant said his client confused dates.
The four defendants will be sentenced in June, but that won't be the end of this. They face state charges of criminal manslaughter in a trial set to begin in November.
Five other company employees have already pleaded guilty in the scheme.
Kelly's mother is serving a 20- to 40-year term after pleading guilty to third-degree murder.
