More than 60 names are on the potential witness list for the state in the House Bill 6 trial of former FirstEnergy executives Chuck Jones and Michael Dowling. Former Public Utilities Commission of Ohio Chair Sam Randazzo was also facing trial for being accused of involvement in a more than $60 million bribery scheme involving state lawmakers and energy executives. Randazzo died by suspected suicide Tuesday.

After a lengthy federal trial last year, former House Speaker Larry Householder, R-Glenford, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his role in the scandal. Former Ohio GOP Chairman Matt Borges was sentenced to five years for his. Two others pleaded guilty and await sentencing. Another defendant, lobbyist Neil Clark, also died by suicide.
