including assault causing bodily harm, extortion and theft over $5,000.

Joseph Miched, 53, were variouslycharged with conspiracy to attempt to obstruct
justice, theft, assault, perjury and extortion related to their work between

I'm one of your regular commenters. I won't comment about the actual case other than to state that I could have been on that jury. No matter how the jury decided, I congratulate the jury members for their long hard work.
Thanks!
