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."

Family Legacy, New Chapter: How Wilkerson Turns 89 Years of History Into Future Success

After 89 years of serving the Albany community, Harold Finkle Your Jeweler faced a pivotal decision. For third-generation owner Justin Finkle, the demanding hours of running a small business were taking precious time away from his young family. "After 23 years, I decided this was the time for me," Finkle explains. But closing a business with nearly nine decades of inventory and customer relationships isn't something easily managed alone. Wilkerson's comprehensive approach transformed this challenging transition into a remarkable success story. Their strategic planning handled everything from advertising and social media to inventory management and staffing — elements that would overwhelm most jewelers attempting to navigate a closing sale independently. The results speak volumes. "Wilkerson gave us three different tiers of potential goals," Finkle notes. "We've reached that third tier, that highest goal already, and we still have two weeks left of the sale." The partnership didn't just meet financial objectives—it exceeded them ahead of schedule.
