The mother of a Black teen being prosecuted in retaliation for a student organized walk out at Cleveland's Collinwood High School in May around teacher layoffs and school closings is asking the attorney representing her daughter as to the malicious prosecution around the matter by the City of Cleveland to move to get the judge in the case disqualified.

Tina Bronaugh, mother of 19-year-old Collinwood High School student Destini Bronaugh, who is charged with resisting arrest and obstruction of official business in retaliation for the peaceful protest, has asked Attorney Terry Gilbert to file an affidavit of prejudice to have Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough removed from the case. Keough is a former colleague of Cleveland Law Director Robert Triozzi, who was previously a Cleveland Municipal Court Judge, and who is Keough's attorney. Just last year he represented her relative to an appeal filed in the Ohio Eighth District Court of Appeals as to the denial of a valid affidavit of prejudice filed against her. The appeal was prompted after the affidavit of prejudice was illegally denied by Keough's friend, then acting Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Presiding Judge Eileen A. Gallagher. And since Triozzi illegally usurped the role of Chief Prosecutor Victor Perez to bring the bogus charges for the city against Destini Bronaugh, community activists are saying that there is a clear conflict of interest.

"Obviously Judge Keough should be removed and we expect Mr. Gilbert to file an affidavit of prejudice seeking her disqualification," said Kathy Wray Coleman, leader of the Imperial Women. "We could care less if Mr. Gilbert has a relationship with Judge Keough too, where he is obligated under the applicable ethics rules for lawyers to seek her disqualification relative to this blatant conflict."

Coleman said that while the grassroots community appreciates Gilbert's pro bono assistance and representation of Destini Bronaugh, it expects him to do his job and to not be manipulated by Judge Keough.

The judge is currently under investigation by the Cleveland FBI for blatant illegalities in a malicious prosecution case of another Black woman by the City of Cleveland that was allegedly handed to her, like the Destini Bronaugh case, for harassment purposes and because Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson has endorsed her relative to her current run for an open seat on the Ohio Eighth District Court of
Appeals.

If an affidavit of prejudice is filed, it will be determined by Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Nancy Fuerst pursuant to state law, and the replacement judge must be a sitting judge from the county.

Chief and unfair Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo loses authority-Part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption: New Ohio law on seeking possible removal of a municipal court judge in a case for bias or conflict via the filing of an affidavit of prejudice takes authority to decide from chief Cuyahoga County Presiding Judge John Russo, other chief common pleas judges in Ohio, and hands it to the chief justice of the Ohio Supreme Court, who also determines affidavits of prejudice filed against common pleas, probate, juvenile, domestic relations, and state appellate court judges....Most affidavits of prejudice are denied regardless of the merits and some judges complained of will retaliate, data show... Community activists, led by Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman of the Imperial Women Coalition, lobbied the Cleveland NAACP for support and asked state legislators via state Rep Bill Patmon (D-10) of Cleveland to change the law but wanted a panel of judges and others to decide when a judge in Ohio is disqualified from hearing a case for bias or conflict....Coleman says she has since been further harassed by Chief Cuyahoga County Judge John Russo, who is White and leads a racist and sexist common pleas court fueled with corruption, malicious prosecutions, excessive criminal bonds, ineffective assistance of counsel to poor and Black defendants, and the mass incarceration of the Black community....By www.clevelandurbannews.com and www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com, Ohio's most read digital Black newspapers....This is part 2 of a multi-part series on Cuyahoga County public corruption
