CLEVELAND, Ohio - Two of the defendants in the Oakhill corruption trial have reached a plea bargain with prosecutors in the case. A third defendant is still scheduled to stand trial.

Youngstown Mayor John McNally and former Mahoning County Auditor Mike Sciortino will be sentenced on March 28 after they pleaded guilty to reduced charges on Friday.

McNally and Sciortino were scheduled to go on trial Monday along with Youngstown attorney Martin Yavorcik on a total of 53 charges for allegedly trying to cover up a conspiracy to stop Mahoning County Commissioners from moving some county offices from Cafaro family owned office space, into a building that is now known as the Oakhill Renaissance Place.

Yavorcik, who is acting as his own attorney, did not reach a plea bargain according to court officials.  His trial will not start on Monday, but is now tentatively set to begin March 14.

Ohio Attorney General spokesperson Dan Tierney tells 21 News that McNally pleaded guilty to two counts of falsification and and one count each of unlawful use of a telecommunications device and attempted unlawful disclosure of government information.

McNally will pay a $3,500 fine and could face up to 180 days in prison. No other sentencing recommendation was made. Tierney says the sentencing will be up to Judge Janet Burnside. 

Neither of the misdemeanors would keep McNally from running for public office. McNally told 21 News reporter Michelle Nicks that he plans to remain in office, and will run for re-election.

Sciortino pleaded guilty to one felony count of having an unlawful interest in a public contract, and could face up to two-and-a-half years in prison, according to Tierney.

Both men have agreed to cooperate in the case against Yavorcik, as well as what Tierney describes as the ongoing investigation into public corruption in the Mahoning Valley.

21 News reporter Michelle Nicks is in the courtroom and will bring any updates.
