William Kohles, found guilty Thursday of sending a death threat to Lightfoot in 2022, said he had a "bullet with her name on it."

The conviction came down shortly after Lightfoot herself testified against the man for a second time.

In a statement, Lightfoot said "The verdict is a relief, but it doesn't erase the fact that this defendant and way too many others of his ilk think it is open season to threaten the lives of those in public service. This has to stop."
