Glock Ex-General Counsel Under the Gun in Racketeering Trial

The indictment accuses Jannuzzo of engaging in a racketeering scheme to siphon corporate funds with the help of Dunwoody lawyer Peter S. Manown, a former senior vice president of the company. Manown, at one time an attorney with the defunct Atlanta law firm Cofer Beauchamp Stradley & Hicks, earlier pleaded guilty to three counts of felony theft and was sentenced on Jan. 7, 2008 to 10 years of probation. He is expected to be the state's primary witness against Jannuzzo. In October 2009, as Jannuzzo's scheduled trial on theft and racketeering charges was approaching, he jumped bail and fled to Mexico, according to court records. His failure to appear in Cobb County Superior Court on Oct. 23, 2009 led to state and federal warrants for his arrest on charges of flight to avoid prosecution. The FBI and U.S. marshals tracked Jannuzzo to Amsterdam in December 2009. He was extradited to the U.S. last May and is awaiting trial in the Cobb County Jail. When Jannuzzo resigned from Glock in February 2003, he was the company's chief operating officer and general counsel in the U.S. Beginning in 1991, when Glock hired him, Jannuzzo was a visible presence in the national debate over gun control as firearms manufacturers fought restrictions on ownership and sales. He led the industry's defense against a string of product liability suits filed by shooting victims and municipalities, and he became one of its most outspoken advocates. A Villanova graduate who earned his law degree at Vermont Law School in 1982, Jannuzzo spent three years as an assistant county prosecutor in Monmouth County, N.J., before joining McKenna, Liska & Leone in Red Bank, N.J., in 1985. In 1991, Jannuzzo was hired by Glock as general counsel in Smyrna and later given additional responsibility as COO in the U.S. According to Jannuzzo's LinkedIn profile, after leaving Glock he worked from April 2004 to Sept.

Continued Strong Pace for Existing-Home Sales | Mike Price -Your ...

June 22, 2010

Existing-home sales remained at elevated levels in May on buyer response to the tax credit, characterized by stabilizing home prices and historically low mortgage interest rates, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Gains in the West and South were offset by a decline in the Northeast; the Midwest was steady.

Existing-home sales , which are completed transactions that include single-family, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.66 million units in May, down 2.2 percent from an upwardly revised surge of 5.79 million units in April. May closings are 19.2 percent above the 4.75 million-unit level in May 2009; April sales were revised to show an 8.0 percent monthly gain.

Lawrence Yun , NAR chief economist, said he expects one more month of elevated home sales. “We are witnessing the ongoing effects of the home buyer tax credit, which we’ll also see in June real estate closings,” he said. “However, approximately 180,000 home buyers who signed a contract in good faith to receive the tax credit may not be able to finalize by the end of June due to delays in the mortgage process, particularly for short sales.

 

“In addition, many potential sales are being delayed by an interruption in the National Flood Insurance Program. Florida and Louisiana, also impacted by the oil spill, have the highest percentage of homes that require flood insurance.”

As the leading advocate for homeownership issues, NAR is supporting Senate amendments to extend the home buyer tax credit closing deadline through September 30 for contracts written by April 30, and to renew the flood insurance program. “Sales and related local economic activity would have been higher without delays in the closing process or flood insurance issues,” Yun noted.

According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 4.89 percent in May from 5.10 percent in April; the rate was 4.86 percent in May 2009.
