CLEVELAND, Ohio — A federal judge ordered former Cuyahoga County Judge Steven Terry to cash out his retirement fund this week, and to pay $57,000 for fixing cases - an unusual move that prosecutors hope will allow them to tap the pensions of other corrupt public officials.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office sought the ruling from U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi with an eye toward other public officials snagged in the ongoing government-corruption investigation, including former county Commissioner Jimmy Dimora, who is accused of running his office as a criminal enterprise.

“The precedent has been set,” said Mike Tobin, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Assistant U.S. Attorney James Morford, who runs the office’s forfeiture section, said Lioi’s order marked the first time he had been able to obtain assets from a defendant’s account in the Public Employees Retirement System of Ohio.

Morford is “reviewing and investigating his options in regard to everybody who’s involved” in the corruption investigation, Tobin said. “He’s excited about it.”

Dimora’s lawyers, William and Andrea Whitaker of Akron, did not return a call seeking comment Friday. Dimora denies wrongdoing is scheduled to stand trial on racketeering charges Jan. 4.

Seizing pension money from convicted government officials has been permitted by Ohio law for only the past three years, but has rarely been pursued, according to defense lawyers.

IT'S ABOUT TIME THAT CORRUPT POLITICIANS AND JUDGES, LIKE LAPDOG MEDINA JUDGE CHRISTOPHER COLLIER, ARE REQUIRED TO PAY THE CONSEQUENCES FOR THEIR CRIMES!

LAPDOG COLLIER HAS BEEN FIXING CASES FOR CORRUPT MEDINA COUNTY PROSECUTOR DINO HOLMAN FOR YEARS.

IF LAPDOG COLLIER IS FORCED TO FORFEIT HIS TAXPAYER FUNDED STATE PENSION, HE'LL JUST HAVE TO FALL BACK ON HIS SECOND CAREER AS A TATTOO ARTIST TO CARRY HIM THROUGH INTO HIS OLD AGE!

MUCH MORE TO COME ....
