William Terry MacDonald faces a lengthy prison term after a Mariposa County jury found him guilty of all 15 felony child molestation charges against him. MacDonald learned his fate shortly after 5 p.m. on Thursday.

MacDonald has been on trial in Mariposa County Superior Court for two weeks. He was arrested last summer on the charges and has been in jail since his arrest.

The courtroom was packed with spectators as the clerk read the verdicts. For the complete story on the conclusion of the case, see the May 6 edition of the Mariposa Gazette.
