Developer Jim Brown, who was indicted in 2005, along with his onetime business partner, Ken Wall, Russo and then-City Attorney Larry Sutley, cut a deal with prosecutors and testified against the other three during a three-week trial in 2006.
Now, prosecutors recommend that U.S. District Judge Kristi DuBose impose a five-year probation on Brown at his sentencing hearing Friday.
A document filed this week in federal court praised Brown's testimony against his co-defendants and suggested that he has played a role in yet another investigation."
