Teledyne Worker Convicted in Zirconium Case: A federal jury in Miami convicted Edward A. Johnson on four counts related to filing false license applications for illegal exports of zirconium by Los Angeles-based Teledyne Inc., said his attorney, Gerald Houlihan. Johnson, who plans to appeal, was acquitted on three other related counts, Houlihan said. The jury also acquitted another former Teledyne worker, Ronald W. Griffin, of one count of lying to investigators during their inquiry, according to Griffin’s attorney. In January, Teledyne itself paid $13 million and pleaded guilty to charges that it illegally exported tons of zirconium that was used in making cluster bombs for Iraq.
