Fox gets a new day in court
The new court date in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati for former Butler County commissioner and former state legislator Michael A. Fox will be in April 2011.
Just last week Fox pleaded not guilty to federal charges for allegedly receiving about $460,000 in kickbacks in exchange for helping Robert C. Schuler, a Columbus-area attorney, land a multimillion-dollar county contract.
Schuler is Fox’s co-defendant in the case. Fox also faces mail fraud, conspiracy and filing a false tax return charges. Schuler faces conspiracy, filing a false tax return and perjury charges.
The original trial date was set for Oct. 4. Fox’s attorneys, Ralph Kohnen and Aaron Herzig, have claimed the case is a politically motivated.
Do you believe the claim is politically motivated?
