Ohio State Representative Casey Weinstein testified in the trial of two former FirstEnergy executives, accused of bribing ex-utility regulator Sam Randazzo. The executives, Chuck Jones and Michael Dowling, are alleged to have funneled $4.3 million to Randazzo in 2018, just before he became chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Weinstein previously questioned Randazzo about ties to FirstEnergy in 2020, with Randazzo denying any connections. The defense argues Randazzo was a corrupt attorney who misused client funds, while the prosecution maintains the payments were bribes. The trial continues without questions from the defense, following Randazzos suicide in April 2024.
