MAYS LANDING--A jury takes less than two days to find Christopher Blank guilty on all counts in the attempted murder trial of three Egg Harbor Township police officers.
A jury found Blank guilty on all counts for the shooting which involved three police officers, two of whom were struck and injured in July of 2006. The judge also found blank guilty of possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
Officers maintained that Blank got one of the officer's guns during a struggle to arrest him. Blank, on the other hand, claimed he found the gun on the ground and shot at the officers because he feared his life was in danger.
