CONTACT PERSONS ARE KATHY WRAY COLEMAN OF THE IMPERIAL WOMEN COALITION AT (216) 659-0473 AND AL PORTER JR.

Who: Greater Cleveland Black clergy of the Federation and the Cleveland Clergy Alliance, community activist groups, and family members of police killing victims and women murdered (Those killed by Cleveland police in the last four years include Blacks of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, 137 shots victims Malissa Williams and Tim Russell, rapper and Kenneth Smith. Daniel Ficker, who was White and erroneously killed by Cleveland police like the aforementioned others, is also supported. Black women murdered whose killers remain at large include the women of Cleveland East 93rd Street)

What/When/Where/Why: A rally at noon on Monday, March 7, 2016 on the steps of the Justice Center on Lakeside Ave in downtown Cleveland to remember the many people killed by police in the last four years under the tenure of current County Prosecutor Tim McGinty and to send a message of discontent as the March 15 primary election nears and as he seeks re-election independent of even participating in public forums in the Black community. Only one cop has been indicted of since fired policeman Michael Brelo, who was acquitted of manslaughter charges last year in a bench trial before Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge John O'Donnell, who leads the 34 majority White common pleas  judges in incarcerating Black people in a disproportionate manner

1. Justice, prosecutions, and accountability of law enforcement for victims of arbitrary Cleveland police killings including, but not limited to, 12-year-old Tamir Rice, Tanisha Anderson, Malissa Williams Timothy Russell, Kenneth Smith and Daniel Ficker.

2. Compliance with the court-monitored consent decree for police reforms between the city of Cleveland and the U.S. Department of Justice and more minority and women police officers in Cleveland and in municipalities, townships and villages across the county.

3. Implementation of a countywide missing persons center where police can communicate across municipal and other jurisdictions, and reward monies from the sheriff and county prosecutors as to a potential suspect relative to the at large killers of the murdered women of Cleveland East 93rd Street.

4. Implementation of a complete overall of the county grand jury process, and open discovery  and more diversity in employment in the county prosecutor's office.

5. Diversity in the courts, including more minority judges, particularly Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court judges, and an investigation regarding the study commissioned by the Cleveland NAACP that found disparities in sentencing by common pleas judges against the Black community. 

6. Representative counsel and   fair play for indigent defendants facing serious crimes, most of whom are Black, data show.

7. Sensitivity as to heightened violence against greater Cleveland women and more resources to find missing women, their rapists, and their killers.

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
