Moments ago speaking with @ogafroman as a jury in Adams County, Ohio is currently deliberating over whether the rapper is liable in a civil case leveled against him by several sheriff’s deputies. Afroman tells me it is his Frist Amendment right to say what he wants through his music. More of the #Afromantrial on @WCPO

Tensions high... Prosecutor Matt Meyer is back for rebuttal after Rendon accused him of "corruption" because of this trial. "What you just saw was a sign of desperation," he said. "The people I prosecute, particularly the powerful ones, don't like being hauled into court."

BACK AGAIN: Closing arguments continue in the FirstEnergy corruption scheme trial. "The state of Ohio upended and tried to destroy Chuck Jones's life and his family and his reputation," Jones' atty Carole Rendon said. @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal

@TranquilBase720 Everything is included in the article. They are accused of bribing former Public Utilities Commission Chair Sam Randazzo. He isn’t on trial because he killed himself.

@MorganTrau What public officials did they bribe and why aren’t those public officials on trial or being named?

@MikeBrice I was referencing how it wasn’t presented during trial. Also, some lawmakers aren’t even aware of that — so I will have to disagree. Not saying none of them know, but I wouldn’t think the majority. Sometimes, we may overestimate how much people read or watch the news.

@MorganTrau Most people on the jury are probably aware of that, despite what they said during the selection process.

FirstEnergy, as a company, has already admitted to bribery in this scheme. The jury doesn't know that.

Fmr FirstEnergy CEO Chuck Jones & VP Mike Dowling are accused of paying former utilities chair Sam Randazzo $4.3M in bribes... Not central to this case, but they are also accused of bribing public officials with $61M to create and pass House Bill 6. news5cleveland.com/news/politics/…

By the way — I was referring to being killed in the Iran conflict. Realized that could be seen another way!

Half of the servicemembers killed in Iran during the KC-135 refueling were from Ohio: @WEWS @WCPO @OhioCapJournal
Governor Mike DeWine@GovMikeDeWine

I have been advised by Ohio's Adjutant General that three of the six servicemembers killed during the air refueling mission in Iraq were Ohioans deployed with the Ohio Air National Guard's 121st Air Refueling Wing. Fran and I are deeply saddened by this news and offer our sincere condolences to their families.
