Ponzo was also convicted today of 11 other charges, including murder conspiracy in aid of racketeering, firearm possession in relation to murder conspiracy, conspiracy to distribute cocaine, conspiracy to distribute marijuana, money laundering, witness tampering, and unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.

In finding Ponzo guilty of racketeering, jurors found Ponzo responsible for the Salemme shooting and the the Sept. 16, 1994, non-fatal shooting of Joseph C. Cirame. But jurors found prosecutors had not proven he participated in the shootings of organized crime figures Stephen Rossetti, Timothy L. O’Toole, and Richard Gillis, and the murders of Richard Devlin and Joseph Souza, according to court records.
