New York, June 16: The jury, which convicted one of the most prominent Indian-Americans in the US Rajat Gupta of securities fraud, said it wanted him to walk a free man after the trial, but the evidence against him and his ''need for greed'' was just too ''overwhelming.''
Former Goldman Sachs director Gupta, 63, sat expressionless, flanked by his lawyers, in Manhattan federal court as the jury read out its guilty verdict yesterday.
It was a difficult day not just for Gupta and his family but for the jury of eight women and four men as well.
