A Florida pickup truck driver, who was found with 60 pounds of marijuana during a traffic stop near Chenoa in McLean County in 2011, was found guilty Tuesday on all charges. 58 year old Charles Hamilton of Key West , who served as his own attorney, was convicted of delivery, possession and trafficking of pot. It took the jury only about an hour to reach its verdict. Prosecutors say Hamilton faces from 12 to 60 years in prison when he's sentenced April 30th.
