Federal judge: ‘Johnny Doc’ will face separate trials on embezzlement and corruption

“Dougherty’s crimes have inflicted immeasurable harm upon Local 98 and the City of Philadelphia," federal prosecutors wrote in a sentencing memo.

Prosecutors said Brian Burrows, former president of Local 98 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, and John Dougherty used union funds for personal expenses.

After a trial that lasted six weeks, a jury convicted Dougherty of most charges related to funds he stole from the union he once led.
