Jury deliberations resume Tuesday in the corruption trial of two ex-FirstEnergy execs, Charles Jones and Michael Dowling, linked to Ohios House Bill 6 bribery scandal. After a hiccup Monday, jurors were instructed to disregard two pieces of inadmissible evidence. The trial, which began January 27th, saw prosecutors present twenty-six witnesses, while the defense called just three, including Senator Jon Husted. Money laundering charges were dropped, but the remaining counts include corrupt activity, theft, bribery, telecom fraud, and record tampering for Dowling. The trial stems from FirstEnergys $60 million effort to save its nuclear plants in 2019, with ex-House Speaker Larry Householder already serving 20 years for his role. The verdict awaits.
