Blackburn sister-in-law convicted

Wednesday, March 1, 2000 | 12:31 p.m.

A jury has found a Las Vegas woman guilty of lying to FBI agents in a bid to protect her brother-in-law, bank robbery suspect Timothy Blackburn.

A jury deliberated less than an hour Tuesday before returning the verdict against 21-year-old Seila Lim.

Lim is to be sentenced June 16 on two counts of making false statements.

Blackburn later escaped from the North Las Vegas jail and, when located by police, killed himself, his wife and the couple's two young daughters.
