AKRON, Ohio (WOIO) - United States District Judge Sara Lioi reduced former Cuyahoga County Commissioner Jimmy Dimora’s prison sentence by five years at a hearing on Wednesday morning.
Dimora and his attorney appeared via video at the federal court hearing.

Federal prosecutors said Dimora accepted more than 100 bribes, tried to fix eight court cases and had contractors do work at his home for free or reduced prices.
Dimora is currently serving his prison sentence at the Devens Federal Medical Center in Massachusetts.
He is now scheduled to be released in Feb. 2031.
