As one judge denied ex-Ohio GOP Chair Matt Borges' request for a delay in sentencing for his felony racketeering conviction, another denied postponing questioning of First Energy executives who believe feds have them in their sights next.
The following article was originally published in the Ohio Capital Journal and published on News5Cleveland.com under a content-sharing agreement.Denial of a delay in one court case means that a player will still be sentenced late next month.
Householder directed the effort in 2018 to elect friendly representatives who would make him speaker. He led the 2019 legislative fight to pass the bailout. And he engineered the nasty, dishonest battle to beat back an attempted repeal. Borges didn’t file anything by that deadline. But on May 15, Borges again asked permission to file post-trial motions. He argued that his conviction was on much shakier ground in light of two decisions handed down on May 11 by the U.S. Supreme Court: Ciminelli vs. United States and Percoco vs. United States.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Kimberly Jolson is helping to manage the administration of a massive class-action suit against FirstEnergy, Jones and Dowling over the Householder scandal. Investors say the recklessness of the scheme cost them big — especially when it came to light and stock values plummeted. In asking to hold off until Sept. 8, Jones and Dowling said that having to give a deposition under oath put them in a position in which they were damned if they did, and damned if they didn’t.
