Attorney indicted for bribing witness

 
CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19)- A local attorney has been indicted on allegations that he bribed a witness.
 
Gregory A. Cohen has been indicted for obstructing justice and bribery.
 
According to the indictment, Cohen used cash to, "corrupt a witness, or improperly influence him with respect to his testimony in an official proceeding, either before or after he was subpoenaed or sworn, promised or offered, or gave him or another person a valuable thing or valuable benefit."
 
Cohen is the attorney for murder suspect Lamar Simmons, who was arrested in 2011 for the 2005 murder of Jose Vazquez. Simmons was also charged with retaliation against a witness in the case. Vazquez was found dead hours after he testified in the murder case of Johnathan D. White.
