Cleveland Law Director Robert Triozzi Tina Bronaugh and Daughter and Cleveland Collinwwod High School Student Destini Bronaugh From the Metro Desk of the Determiner Weekly.com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network Cleveland Law Director Robert Triozzi has allegedly retaliated against Collinwood High School teen Destini Bronaugh for a dismissal last week by Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason on behalf of the State of Ohio of a bogus felony charge of two counts of assault on a police officer and misdemeanor resisting arrest that were pending against the girl. On behalf of the predominantly Black City of Cleveland Triozzi, on Tuesday, brought the same misdemeanor charge of resisting arrest that Mason dropped last week, and because Mason also dropped the felony assault charge, Triozzi added an obstruction of official business charge. The two new charges brought by Triozzi for the city are both misdemeanors. Absent a dismissal, misdemeanor charges are prosecuted b...

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason Community Activist Art McKoy By Kathy Wray Coleman, Editor of the DeterminerWeekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network The Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday denied leave to appeal and refused to hear an appeal sought by Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason on behalf of the State of Ohio where the county prosecutor challenged a decision earlier this year by the Ohio Eighth District Court of Appeals. That decision supports a previous order by Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo, the trial judge in the case, for Mason to immediately give the attorneys for community activist Art McKoy the name of the alleged confidential informant against him so that they can prepare him for any trial relative to a pending drug case. "Upon consideration of the jurisdictional memoranda filed in this case, the Court denies leave to appeal and dismisses the appeal as not involving any substantial constitutiona...

Cleveland Municipal Clerk of Court Earle B. Turner Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough From the Metro Desk of the DeterminerWeekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network Cleveland Municipal Clerk of Court Earle B. Turner has agreed, with conditions, to change an erroneous case docket date that falsely and fraudulently denotes that a document filed on May 22, 2009 was filed on May 26, 2009 regarding a criminal matter before Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough. The judge presided over what community activists are calling a malicious prosecution of local Black journalist Kathy Wray Coleman and is accused of directing Turner and his staff to falsify the case docket so that the document would be seen as filed untimely relative to any appeal by Coleman. Following a two day trial held last May before Keough, a jury found Coleman not guilty of misdemeanor charges of aggravated disorderly conduct, making false alarms, and obstruction of...

Community Activist Art McKoy By Kathy Wray Coleman, Editor of the DeterminerWeekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network Cleveland area community members and grassroots factions such as the People's Forum, the Carl Stokes Brigade, the Imperial Women, the Oppressed People's Nation and the Lucasville Uprising Freedom Network will rally on June 19 at 5 pm at Black on Black Crime Inc's headquarters at McCall's at 14660 Euclid Ave in East Cleveland to denounce what some community activists say is the malicious prosecution by the State of Ohio of respected longtime community activist Art McKoy. The date is consequential because it is the anniversary of "Junteenth," an annual recognition of the day in 1865 in which slaves on a plantation in Texas were told that they were free in accordance with a proclamation from then U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, though most other slaves had been freed two years earlier in 1863 when Lincoln signed the ...

Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Daniel Gaul Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Administrative and Presiding Judge Nancy Fuerst Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Kathleen Sutula Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge Stuart Friedman From the Metro Desk of the DeterminerWeekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network Cleveland area grassroots organizations, including the Oppressed People's Nation, the Lucasvile Uprising Freedom Network, Black on Black Crime and the Carl Stokes Brigade, will protest on Thursday, June 17 at 8 am in front of the Justice Center in support of a young Black woman charged with assaulting two White male Cleveland Fifth District police officers.

Cleveland Municipal Clerk of Court Earle B. Turner Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough From the Metro Desk of the DeterminerWeekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network Cleveland Municipal Clerk of Court Earle B. Turner has corrected a false and defamatory notation on the website case docket of Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough that says that African-American Journalist Kathy Wray Coleman was convicted of aggravated disorderly conduct, though Coleman has no criminal record and has never been convicted of a crime. Coleman said that the illegal notation, which she views as felony activity of tampering with a public record, was removed by Turner's Chief of Staff, Ron Tabor, on Friday, after Coleman said she would sue and contact the press. Keough is allegedly angry over the correction where she has written an entry on the case docket that falsified data as to the filings of documents on Coleman's behalf should not be co...

Turner Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough From the Metro Desk of the DeterminerWeekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network Cleveland Municipal Clerk of Court Earle B.

Coleman, who has no criminal record, says the activity is in retaliation for a lawsuit filed last month in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas that is before Cuyahoga Judge John Russo and names Cleveland Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Ann Keough as one of several defendants. "Earle B. Turner is in my opinion a lazy and corrupt Cleveland Municipal Clerk of Court who routinely has his e...
