Hearing reset for Fornataro resentencing in pool selling case
A resentencing hearing for Angelo Fornataro of New Castle Area School District is moved to 8 30 a m Wednesday before President Judge Glenn McCracken Jr. The judge rescinded the May 9 sentence of 60 days house arrest after defense requested a continuance due to the attorney's oral surgery. Fornataro, 56, of 736 Vogan St, was sentenced for three counts of pool selling and bookmaking, with fines total 25 000 and 15 000 restitution plus electronic monitoring costs. The delay stems from questions about a medical report given by a physician who is related to the defendant. Two co defendants face house arrest due to heart conditions.
