This is what I've written so far....

On August 15, 2021, a grand jury found John Thomas (J.T.) Burnette guilty of one count of extortion, two counts of mail fraud, one violation of the travel act, and lying to the government. At his trial, the government presented evidence that Burnette engaged in multi-year scheme, extorting bribe payments from FBI undercover agents, with co-conspirator, former mayor and Tallahassee City Commissioner, Scott Maddox. Maddox was suspended from the Tallahassee City Commission and also sentenced to five years in prison for the same case, on counts of bribery, extortion, bank and wire fraud. Burnette was a wealthy businessman, developer, and entrepreneur.
