YOUNGSTOWN The judge who sentenced former Columbiana County recorder Theresa Bosel Dec. 29 to 30 days of house arrest and other sanctions has stayed the sentence pending the outcome of an appeal Bosel has filed. A stay prevents further action until a future event occurs.
Bosel’s attorney, Edward Hartwig, appealed the sentence and the court’s finding of Bosel guilty of vehicular manslaughter. The matter was filed with the Seventh District Court of Appeals on the same day Mahoning County Area Court at Canfield Judge Molly Johnson imposed the sentence.
Hartwig stated in a filing that the sentence was contrary to law and that Bosel’s guilty plea to vehicular manslaughter was not made voluntarily, intelligently and/or knowingly.
