Milwaukee County jury convicts lawyer of having illegal gun silencer

A jury found a Wauwatosa lawyer guilty Friday of buying what he called "a hit man's gun" with a "highly, highly, highly illegal" silencer during an undercover reverse sting in 2011.

Thomas Michael Barrett had been set up by a convicted drug dealer who was trying to earn a break on his sentencing in federal court. But despite his own testimony that he sensed something was funny about a meeting for the possible sale, Barrett paid the informant — a man he'd never met — $400 for two handguns and the silencer.

Barrett faces up to three years in prison at his sentencing April 18 in Milwaukee County Circuit Court.
