The world around convicted city contractor Bobby Ferguson continues to crumble:
The latest: A business partner of his and a co-defendant in a $12 million bid-rigging case pleaded guilty Monday in federal court, John Snell of the Detroit News reports. Snell wrote that it was surprise move.
Snell wrote:
Calvin Hall pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and admitted he conspired with Ferguson and a second businessman, Michael Woodhouse, to submit false documents to the government, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
Hall is the fifth person to plead in that case. The trial ended in a mistrial.
Ferguson, who was convicted in March in a separate public corruption case involving Kwame Kilpatrick, is scheduled to be sentenced in October in that case.
He faces a retrial in the bid rigging case in which Hall just pleaded guilty.
