It seems that dispite their insistance that the cages where used as a source of "protection" for the children, a jury of their peers where able to see through the lies and convict the Gravelle's for the abuse their 11 adoptive children suffered at their hands.

From Fox:
A jury found Michael Gravelle, 57, and his wife, Sharen, 58, guilty of felony and misdemeanor charges of child endangering and abuse.
The couple had pleaded not guilty. They claimed during the three-week trial they needed to keep some of the youngsters in enclosed beds rigged with alarms to protect them from themselves and each other and stop them from wandering at night.
Each was convicted of four felony counts of child endangering, two misdemeanor counts of child endangering and five misdemeanor counts of child abuse. Each was acquitted of 13 charges.
All I can say is, it's about damn time.
