Armed jewelry store robber testified against them in week-long trial.

The three men who partnered with Abigail Kemp to rob five jewelry stores across the Southeast have been found guilty, the WJHG in Panama City, FL reports. The article says that the men – Lewis Jones III, 36, and brothers Larry Gilmore, 44, and Michael Gilmore, 47 – face up to life in prison and will be sentenced in October. Kemp, who is also facing a life sentence, testified against the three men in hopes of receiving a lighter sentence.

The article cites court documents, which say that “Jones, M. Gilmore, and L. Gilmore instructed Kemp on the proper way to manipulate a handgun, how to act when in a store, how to secure the store employees with zip ties, and what code words to use when communicating with them during these robberies."

Wilkerson: “They Feel Like Family”

Newton’s Jewelers in Fort Smith, Ark., was a true institution. But after being at the helm for most of his life, owner (and descendent of the original founder) Kelly Newton decided it was time to retire. He chose Wilkerson to handle the sale. “I’ve known the owners of Wilkerson for a long, long time. I felt at home with them,” he says. The final retirement sale was just a “blast” and the Wilkerson sales team made it so very simple and straightforward, says Newton. Would he recommend Wilkerson to others? Absolutely. “They’ve done incredible work,” says Newton. “They feel like family.”
