Jimmy Dimora, the former Cuyahoga County commissioner now serving 28 years for political corruption, is taking his bid for a new trial to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Attorneys for Dimora filed a motion Monday asking the Supreme Court to accept his appeal. The court selects only a fraction of the cases that apply and fewer than 10 percent of such filings are accepted for a full review.
A decision on whether the Supreme Court will accept the case isn’t expected for several months.
