Overview
- Summit County jurors, who told the court Tuesday they were at an impasse, ended deliberations without a verdict.
- Prosecutors say ex-CEO Chuck Jones and ex-SVP Mike Dowling paid $4.3 million to soon-to-be utility regulator Sam Randazzo for favorable treatment.
- During deliberations, the jury was mistakenly given a highly confidential interview transcript and pages from a revised indictment, and the judge apologized.
- Attorney General Dave Yost said the state will retry the case, even as the defendants face separate federal racketeering charges.
- Jurors were not told that FirstEnergy had admitted funding a $60 million push tied to House Bill 6 or that ex-Speaker Larry Householder is in prison in that scheme.
