Yavorcik reveals new information, slide show in Oakhill case against him

CLEVELAND

In a motion seeking to dismiss charges against him, Martin Yavorcik, a defendant in the Oakhill Renaissance Place criminal-corruption case, provided a document outlining the prosecutors’ case against him.

The 24-page document – titled “Marty Yavorcik Presentation” – includes specifics of allegations against him that haven’t been revealed in the thousands of pages of documents filed by both sides in this case.

In a motion filed by Yavorcik on Monday – but not on the online Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts docket until Wednesday – he wrote that Dan Kasaris, senior assistant Ohio attorney general and the case’s lead prosecutor, met with him some time before the May 14, 2014, indictment.

At that meeting at the AG’s downtown Youngstown office, Kasaris presented him with the PowerPoint slide presentation with “the purported purpose” to “offer a resolution of this matter pre-indictment,” Yavorcik wrote.

The presentation states prosecutors wanted Yavorcik to cooperate as he was “not the brains behind the enterprise and offenses.”
