Following about seven hours of deliberation, a jury convicted Jonathan Robertson Tuesday of five counts of delivery/manufacture of a controlled substance less than 50 grams, one count of delivery/ manufacture of a controlled substance – Schedule 4 drug and marijuana, and two counts of possession of a controlled substance.

Robertson was found not guilty on three counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

The jury could not come to a decision on two counts of third-degree CSC and one count of delivery of a controlled substance, causing death.
