DOWNTOWN JACKSON — Additional charges were filed against a former Jackson attorney on Monday. Clay McCormack, a former attorney at Teel, McCormack and Maroney law firm, is facing new charges including seven counts of bank fraud and six counts of making false statements. McCormack was initially charged in March 2013 on just two counts of each. McCormack faces up to 30 years in prison and a $1 million fine for each of the seven fraud counts, and up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine for each of the six counts of making false statements. McCormack‘s co-conspirator, James Lee Bishop, pleaded guilty to bank fraud in February 2014, and his sentencing hearing is set for August 29.
