Imprisoned former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder pleaded not guilty Friday to 10 additional felony counts brought against him by the state.
FILE - Then- Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder sits at the head of a legislative session in Columbus, Ohio , Oct. 30, 2019. The largest corruption case in Ohio history culminated on Thursday, March 9, 2023, in guilty verdicts for both Householder and lobbyist Matt Borges, but the state's attorney general called it “only the beginning of accountability" regarding the now-tainted $1 billion bailout of two aging nuclear power plants.
Judge Brendan Sheehan granted a request from Householder's legal team to conduct the hearing remotely. Householder, wearing a prison uniform, did not speak during the hearing or look directly at the camera. Householder has appealed that conviction, arguing that federal prosecutors overstepped their authority and that the money was raised legally into a 501 dark money group. Both FirstEnergy and the nonprofit group Generation Now have admitted guilt in the case, which is ongoing.
Another man the state charged, Sam Randazzo, former chair of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, pleaded not guilty before dying by suicide this month.
