No Indictments in Neeson Lottery Investigation
A Lorain County grand jury ended its probe into alleged tampering with the lottery used to assign common pleas judges, with no indictments. The investigation centered on whether Clerk of Courts Natale Neeson ordered the top lottery card opened, and whether attorney Gerald Smith sought the cue to the judge ahead of time. Prosecutor Gregory White indicated final information was presented without witnesses being subpoenaed, and noted jurors discussed matters with Judge Adrian F. Bedeski but could not issue reports. Members of the Harris camp criticized the probe as politically motivated while Neeson and Smith avoided comment.
