Statement from U.S. Attorney Dettelbach on the passing of Congressman Louis Stokes

For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Northern District of Ohio

"One of the first things I did when I became U.S. Attorney was arrange for Lou Stokes to address every federal prosecutor in the District. We were in the midst of a huge county corruption scandal, and public service was taking a public beating. But Lou Stokes was always there as a shining beacon of integrity, of excellence and most important of all for us, of justice. I will always remember not only his words and wisdom that day, and whenever we spoke, but the incredible example that his entire life set."
