Crawford, owner of a Springdale, Pa., construction company, is set to be sentenced on Dec. 13 in federal district court in Pittsburgh, after pleading guilty last summer to mail fraud in a kickback scheme with a developer financed though overbilling so-called "cost of work" charges on two building projects worth $15 million.
