CONVICTIONS:


* ENGAGING IN A PATTERN OF CORRUPT ACTIVITY: One count, mandatory 10-year sentence.
* MONEY LAUNDERING: Four counts, 1-5 years on each count.
* TAMPERING WITH RECORDS: Four counts, 1-5 years on each count.
* FORGERY: 18 counts, six months to one year on each count.

The maximum sentence, if imposed on all counts, would total 72 years in prison. Prosecutors said it was unlikely the judge would order such a lengthy sentence.

AND (bonus link)

• Day 17 testimony: Defense calls no witnesses, then rests

DEFENSE CALLS NO WITNESSES? Like maybe TAFT? Or BLACKWELL?

2. So he's looking at maybe 13 years?

The ten years mandatory and then the others, even at minimum sentencing concurrently would come up to 13? Or could they bury it all under the ten year mandatory?


In either case, WTG Ohio!!!!!


(Been a good week all around, eh?)

5. HEY NOW!

Are you suggesting that the Ohio Democratic Party is engaging in (should engage in or MIGHT engage in)
POLITICAL CRONYISM???

I thought we just THREW OUT most of those!

(Ahhh, grasshopper, you so soon forget how Mr. Hackett was so rudely treated by the ODP & DSCC during the lead-up to the OH Primary...)

7. They can probably make it go away on appeal.

At least thats what they must figure. That way no one else up the chain gets implicated, and Noe doesn't see any time either.

8. I'll bet he is out in 24 months.

He'll appeal the ten year, since it appears to be a more loose kind of crime. Then it's max of five. He'll have those appealed or lessened.

Two years.
