Appeal Under Consideration
“We are very disappointed in the verdict,” said Richard L. Gaines, one of Hobson’s attorneys. “We continue to believe Mr. Hobson is innocent of the charges, and we are considering an appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.”
The government’s case was led by Natalie Kanerva and Ligia Markman of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, along with Nicole Stockey of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Hobson is represented by James Price of Lacy Price & Wagner PC and Richard L. Gaines.
With sentencing set for June 25, the courtroom drama now shifts to its next act — where the consequences of the jury’s decision will be measured not in contracts or commissions, but in years.
