Sean Brown charges carry a maximum of 7-1/2 to 15 years in prison

Sean Brown, 34, formerly of 49 Worcester St., has been jailed since his arrest soon after the sales of drugs.Brown was first tried and convicted in 2006, but the state Supreme Court overturned that conviction, finding that the four sales should have been tried separately. Brown was tried on all four sales last week, however, under a newer law allowing related crimes to be handled in a single trial.
The jury Friday convicted Brown, who had acted as his own lawyer; his sentencing has not yet been scheduled.
The charges carry a maximum of 7-1/2 to 15 years in prison because of Brown's prior drug convictions. Judge William Groff had originally sentenced Brown to 3-1/2 to seven years in prison, but the state Sentence Review Board raised his sentence to five to 14 years.Because that conviction was reversed, however, Brown will now face sentencing anew.
