CALGARY- A jury has found Erica Levin guilty of attempting to bribe a juror in her husband’s sexual assault trial.
Levin was on trial after being charged with obstruction of justice.
The crown alleged that Levin attempted to bribe a juror that was a jury member on her husband Aubrey Levin’s sexual assault case.

At the trial, CCTC video was shown from January 2013 where Levin appears to approach a female juror at a CTrain platform near the Calgary Courts Centre.
The crown alleged that Levin attempted to bribe the juror by offering her money that was in a white envelope in exchange to find her husband not guilty of sexual assault.
Erica Levin told court on Wednesday that the envelope contained a suicide note, not money.
She denied any allegations of bribery and said she went to the CTrain station to end her life.
Jurors returned with a guilty verdict Friday morning, following nearly 6 hours of deliberation.
A sentencing date will be decided in November.
