Gerace Payment
Sometime during 1983, Hund and Grove saw Gary Long (Long)
and Gerace driving in Long's car and pulled them over. Hund
appropriated Gerace's gun from under the seat, and Grove grabbed
Long and held a gun on him. On the basis of what Hund told him,
Gerace feared Grove would kill Long and he would be blamed.
Gerace offered them money to settle the matter. Grove and Hund
followed Gerace and Long to the house of Gerace's mother. Gerace
went into his mother's house and obtained a stack of money
containing at least $5,000 which he put in a brown bag and gave
to Hund.
Respondent asserts that Gerace gave Grove and Hund $5,000
during this incident and that Grove and Cattalo each received
$1,500 and Ryan $500 of that amount. Grove and Cattalo were
convicted of bribery and conspiracy with respect to the Gerace
payment. Gerace testified that the stack of money contained
either $5,000 or $10,000. Hund testified that the amount was
$5,000 and that the distribution was as asserted by respondent.
We sustain respondent's assertions as to the amounts of the
Gerace payment that Grove and Cattalo received.
