Federal prosecutors have reiterated the solidity of their bribery case against union boss John “Johnny Doc” Dougherty and Philadelphia City Councilman Bobby Henon in recent court documents.
Filed in response to Dougherty's motion to dismiss 12 counts from the indictment against him, the government's reply argues the charges alleging that the union boss bribed Henon were strong enough to go to trial, contrary to Dougherty's arguments that the indictment is vague and doesn't allege quid pro quo.
Dougherty is accused in counts 97 through 109 of the 116-count indictment of furnishing Henon with a “stream of personal benefits” including a salaried position with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 98 and $11,800 in sports tickets in exchange for furthering Dougherty's agenda in City Council.
