Des Plaines man gets probation for lying in probe of Cook County court clerk
Posted February 27, 2017 12:00 am
Sivasubramani Rajaram lied to a federal grand jury investigating Cook County Circuit Court Clerk Dorothy Brown.
Federal authorities say the Des Plaines man also lied twice to the FBI and bought his job in Brown's office with a $15,000 "loan."
On Monday, U.S. District Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman sentenced Rajaram to three years of probation after Rajaram said he lied because he feared retaliation. Rajaram said the stress of his prosecution has caused him to be hospitalized twice - once in July and once in January - for mental health issues.
