No Verdict Yet in Dimora Trial

Closing arguments in the trial concluded Thursday in the case against Dimora and co-defendant Michael Gabor. Prosecutors allege the former commissioner and county Democratic party chairman ran a criminal enterprise from his office in downtown Cleveland, accepting cash, home improvements, trips and "personal services" - i.e. prostitutes - in exchange for contracts, jobs and other political favors.

It's the apex of a federal corruption investigation that's resulted in more than 50 guilty pleas from governmen employees and private contractors - one of the largest such investigations in the county's history.

It's unclear how much prison time Dimora could face if convicted. Former Auditor Frank Russo, said to be a partner with Dimora in the corruption schemes and who has pleaded guilty, was sentenced to 22 years.

Jurors will resume their deliberations Monday.
