Crime and Courts Monday, July 30, 2012 Dimora sentencing may stretch into a second day Attorneys continue to argue over the value of his bribes Story by MARK URYCKI AND M.L. SCHULTZE |
| | |
In The Region: The sentencing of former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora may stretch into a second day as prosecutors and defense attorneys argue about the value of the bribes he took.
Dimora was convicted in March on nearly three dozen corruption charges. His sentencing hearing began today in U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi’s courtroom in Akron.
At the center of the argument so far is the net value of bribes and losses tied to things such as county jobs. His attorneys say if the people hired actually performed the work, then there is no loss to the county. Ditto with consulting contracts.
Dimora’s sentence will depend on where he falls on a scale of federal sentencing guidelines, and some of that depends of the value of what he got. He’ll also have to pay restitution.
The government is pressing for a sentence of at least 22 years. Defense attorneys say, compared to criminals like former Ohio congressmen Jim Traficant and Bob Ney and to Dimora’s codefendant Frank Russo, Dimora deserves much less.
