Judge upholds Barbuto Orr sentencing in Akron case
In Akron, a judge left intact the prison term given by former Summit County Judge James Barbuto to Preston Orr. Lake County Judge Paul Mitrovich also voided a news gag order tied to the case. The Sun Ohio District Court of Appeals heard Beacon Journal arguments to lift the publishing ban from an Orr interview, as Barbuto faces trial on remaining counts. Orr, convicted in 1978 of compelling prostitution and felonious assault, had alleged prior cooperation with investigators about Barbuto’s conduct and potential witness status.
