The Dayton Daily News obtained footage of the hearing through a public records request. Visiting Judge Jonathan Hein, who is presiding over the case against Piergies and Montgomery County Clerk of Courts Mike Foley, told Piergies on Friday that public officials live under a “microscope.”“The public has high expectations because of the duty to represent the public, so that factors in here,” Hein said. Piergies was charged in July 2024 in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court along with Foley.

There was no public notice of the plea deal or sentencing hearing. Hein allowed public access to the case file to be sealed from the public. Piergies has been suspended from the bench since August 2024 under state judicial rules because he was facing felony charges. It’s not immediately clear if he will return to work now that the felony charges are dismissed. Piergies was charged in July 2024 in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court along with Montgomery County Clerk of Courts Mike Foley.

The plan is to cut the Pentagon’s nearly 900,000 civilians by about 60,000 people.
