CINCINNATI (FOX19) - A federal judge has denied a request from the legal team for suspended city councilmember P.G. Sittenfeld to drop all corruption-related charges.
This means the case will proceed and appears headed for a jury trial.
âThe issue currently before the Court is not whether Alexander (âP.G.â) Sittenfeld is innocent or guilty of the charges against him. Indeed, all agree that Sittenfeld is presumed innocent at this stage,â U.S. District Court Judge Douglas R. Cole wrote in his 43-page order.
