CEO of one of the largest companies in northeast Ohio was indicted along with the CFO and the company as a whole. Attorney Friedman was chosen to represent the company at the highly publicized and anticipated trial. The company faced indictment for Conspiracy to Violate Campaign Finance Laws, Violation of Campaign Finance Laws- Contributions in the Name of Another, Violation of Campaign Corporate Contributions, Causing False Statements, Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice, and Obstruction of Justice. The jury trial commenced in the Northern District of Ohio, Federal Court and spanned five weeks. The CFO pled guilty which caused the government to contend that guilt was automatically imputed upon the company. In the end, the jury cleared the company of any wrongdoing with a sweeping finding of Not Guilty on all charges. The company and all of its employees were able to continue operations, without fear of closure.
