When he was Delaware County Prosecutor, Dave Yost, now Auditor of State, served as a special prosecutor in Athens County. For some inexplicable reason, the torch is now carried by a Delaware County Prosecutor's office employee, Kyle Rohrer.
Anyway, Gwinn has fought the case and the conviction and basically won her arguments before the Appellate Court. Now, as the case is winding down, nobody knows what to do with it.
If Gwinn prevails, it could mean some interesting things for politicians like Delaware County's own Andrew Brenner, who reports "loans" of more than $17,000 on his campaign finance report. See, as Delaware County Recorder, he made about $58K a year. So how did he loan that much money into his campaign? The things that make you go hmmmm.
If Gwinn is overturned, it encourages political money laundering.
