As discussed here, in February Charles Hunter Hobson (who served in a variety of roles at Corsa Coal from 2013 to 2018) was found guilty by a jury for various Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and related offenses in connection with an Egyptian bribery scheme. As highlighted here, the “foreign official” jury instruction in the Hobson case was flawed and Hobson’s motion for acquittal (filed on April 6th) remains outstanding.
Recently, Hobson switched counsel and is now represented by R. McConnell Group attorneys Ryan McConnell, Matthew Boyden, and Larry Finder.
Yesterday, against the DOJ’s objection, Judge Robert Colville (W.D. Pa) granted Hobson’s request to continue sentencing. Sentencing, which was set for August 4th, is now rescheduled to October 28th.
With Hobson’s motion for acquittal still pending and new counsel, it is possible that there might be additional filings made to the motion and/or other motions filed.
R. McConnell Group attorneys Ryan McConnell, Matthew Boyden, and Larry Finder recently represented FCPA defendant Ramon Alexandro Rovirosa Martinez.
As highlighted in this recent post, in April, Judge Kenneth Hoyt (S.D. Texas) granted post-trial motions to dismiss and acquittal by Ramon Alexandro Rovirosa Martinez and ordered that he be released from prison.
