BUFFALO — The sentencing of a Somerset man who prosecutors said helped his cousin terrorize his business competitors was adjourned Wednesday.
James “Jamie” Soha was found guilty in federal court in December 2007 on charges of arson, racketeering conspiracy and aiding and abetting his cousin, David Cain Jr., who was sentenced earlier this month to 55 years in prison. Cain, one-time owner of Dave’s Tree Service in Royalton, was found guilty of using violence and intimidation against his business competitors from the mid-1990s to the mid-2000s. During his sentencing, Cain was ordered to pay $599.330.45 in restitution, split between nine victims.
Soha’s sentencing was adjourned until Feb. 27 after his defense attorneys filed a last-minute motion, court clerks said.
Cain’s mother, Ann Cain, convicted of witness tampering, was originally scheduled for sentencing today, but her case has been adjourned until March 2.
Cain’s brother, Chris Cain, 36, of Barker, convicted of several charges including arson and racketeering, had his sentencing postponed earlier this month. He will be sentenced Feb. 23.
All will appear before U.S. District Judge Richard Arcara.
