Another senseless tragedy for the FBI. The only upside for the bureau: the men in the robbery were convicted Wednesday.

TRENTON, N.J. — Three young New Brunswick men, whose bank robbery spree ended in an incident in which FBI agent Barry Lee Bush was shot and killed by another agent, were convicted today of conspiracy and various bank robbery and weapons charges in U.S. District Court in Trenton.
Wilfredo Berrios, Efrain Lynn and Francisco Herrera-Genao, all in their 20s and from New Brunswick, were not charged in connection with Bush’s death outside a PNC Bank in the Whitehouse section of Readington Township on April 5, 2007, but all three were found guilty guilty on charges that will put them behind bars for decades.
“This is a tragic story in a number of respects,” said Jacob Elberg, who helped prosecute the case. “The good thing today is we finally reached a conclusion. Much of what happened here today reflects the impressive work the FBI did in tracking this group down and catching them in the act before they could do what they had done four times before.”
Berrios, Lynn and Herrara-Genao were charged with robbing banks in Piscataway, East Brunswick, Ocean Township and South Brunswick before they were arrested.
