Lawyer who skipped hearing is suspended
The Associated Press
YOUNGSTOWN - An attorney who missed a hearing to talk about the sentence of jailed former Congressman James A. Traficant Jr. was suspended Friday by the state's highest court as it investigates a complaint.
The Ohio Supreme Court suspended Mark Colucci, 46, of Youngstown.
The Mahoning County Bar Association complained after Colucci missed a hearing in 2002 so he could talk to reporters about Traficant's sentencing.
The complaint accuses Colucci of neglecting legal matters and failing to pay clients money owed from lawsuits, among other charges.
Traficant was convicted in 2002 of 10 counts of bribery, racketeering and tax evasion and sentenced to eight years in prison.
The House of Representatives then voted to expel him on the charges that he took bribes from Youngstown businessmen.
