By Daniel Kelley PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A jury on Wednesday found a former Philadelphia sportscaster guilty of using unregistered charities and non-existent tickets to sporting events to scam people out of money. Don Tollefson, 62, represented himself in the 11-day trial, portraying himself as an incompetent businessman as he tried to fend off charges of theft, money laundering and violating state charities rules. Bucks County Assistant District Attorney Matthew Weintraub said Tollefson stole roughly $342,000 in increments ranging from $500 to $1000 by promising sporting tickets to donors to his charities. Robert Goldman, who served as back-up defense attorney, said Tollefson planned to make restitution by selling off a collection of sports memorabilia. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
