Questiоns 30 – 32 rely upоn the fоllowing Fаct Scenаrio: Cuyаhoga County Public Officials Jimmy DeJonas and Frank Rossi are currently under investigation by the FBI and US Dept. of Justice, allegedly for trading public contracts for a series of personal favors, both monetary and sexual. According to newspaper accounts, both individuals traded on their ability to award public contracts for years. Among the individuals who allegedly bribed DeJonas was John Blaze, the owner of Blaze Construction Co. Mr. Blaze allegedly performed $50,000 in free renovations to DeJonas’s home in exchange for the award of several construction contracts and for DeJonas’s assistance in resolving problems with county building inspectors (who issue permits for completed buildings). The FBI also alleges that DeJonas and Rossi conspired together to trade their political influence for bribes; one would collect a bribe, and the other would ask one of their employees to do a favor for the person delivering the bribe. You may assume there is good evidence besides the evidence described here that such a conspiracy existed, and that DeJonas and Rossi will be tried separately. 31. During a search of DeJonas’s home, the FBI finds a laptop computer in DeJonas’s bedroom.
