BOSTON (AP) A former high school dean and anti-violence advocate faces up to 20 years in prison for shooting and nearly killing a student he had recruited to sell marijuana for him.
Fifty-eight-year-old Shaun Harrison is set to be sentenced on Friday a day after a Suffolk Superior Court jury convicted him of armed assault with intent to murder and other charges.
District Attorney Dan Conley calls Harrison a fraud and says "he was living a lie."
Prosecutors say Harrison called himself "Rev" and once had a pastor-like influence on young people.
Harrison worked as a dean at Boston English High School for five years. He was convicted of shooting 17-year-old Luis Rodriguez in March 2015 because he believed the student was not generating enough sales and was withholding money.
