I am totally impressed that this investigation moved along so expeditiously. considering it took 10 years for New Jersey to break the money laundering, organ stealing group operating in their state. Kudos to Ohio BCI!!
Now Dojack, may just join the rest of the felons in his family. (**Sandy that's for you guys!)

scary when the good guys ...aren't
Of course they pleaded innocent. I take it these guys are from your local area? Good for you for sharing the story with us.
Some people just think they are above the law! So many times too in a small town, people will rally behind criminals like this and say thingss like "Oh, he was such a nice guy, etc" Yeah, right, a regular Robin Hood.
I don't think Dojack should've been released from jail...would a anyone else in his situation get to be released--no bail?
You're right, at least it didn't drag on like the modern day Sopranos in New Jersey.
I love when citizens go the extra mile to make this state proud. Go Buckeyes!
There's a lot of dirty cops out there. Very few get caught.
