YOUNGSTOWN — A hearing in the Oakhill Renaissance Place criminal conspiracy case, in which special prosecutors are seeking to dismiss all charges against all defendants, will occur at 9 a.m. Monday before visiting Judge William H. Wolff Jr., a lawyer for one of the defendants said this morning.
J. Gerald Ingram, a lawyer for Atty. Martin Yavorcik, confirmed after a conference call this morning that Monday’s hearing will occur as scheduled in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court. Yavorcik is charged only with a single count of money laundering.
In the Oakhill case, five people, including two current and two former county officials, and three companies, including the Cafaro Co., are charged with conspiring to impede the move of the Mahoning County Department of Job and Family Services from Cafaro Co.-owned rented quarters on the city's East Side to the county-owned Oakhill building.

The special prosecutors need to be brought up on charges for wasting our taxpayer dollars on this "Um DUH!" case. It is common knowledge that every person charged tried to impede the move because it conflicted with their business interests. That's commerce. They lost and the move happened.
The sore winners who instituted this wasteful investigation & fool hardy attempt at a prosecution had better be the only people the defendants sue.
The Cafaro School of Corruption will now be starting another class .
Everybody has a price. Price paid?
