CLEVELAND, Ohio- Greater Cleveland community activists groups, led by community activist Art McKoy, will rally at 10 am on Monday, May 18 at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center on Lakeside Avenue in downtown Cleveland to demand convictions by Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Judge John O'Donnell of  Cleveland police officer Michael Brelo.  (Editor's note: Brelo is on trial before O'Donnell and faces two counts of voluntary manslaughter for his role in gunning down unarmed Blacks Malissa Williams and Timothy Russell following a high speed car chase in 2012. Closing arguments have concluded. Brelo fired 49 of 137 bullets fired by 13 non-Black Cleveland cops, the other 12 of which were not charged. O'Donnell, a White controversial judge and a documented crook who has stolen homes from county residents for mortgage companies and banks such as JPMorgan Chase Bank and the county Democratic party for a fourth of the value,  is hearing the case in lieu of a jury per Brelo's request. The corrupt judge said last week that his decision could come as early as Tuesday morning in the case).

"We do not trust Judge O'Donnell, we do not trust the justice system, and we do not trust Black preachers calling for calm," said McKoy. "We do not want violence or destruction of property, but we do not call for calm." 


Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson and area Black preachers, led by the Rev. Larry Harris of the United Pastors in Mission, are calling for calm in the case, one prosecuted by anxious county prosecutor Tim McGinty.


The only patrolman charged in the Williams-Russell shooting was Brelo. 

Activists want the other 12 police officers charged criminally and have said that regardless, Brelo must be convicted since he participated in the shooting too. The issue, they say, is not solely how many shots were fired by Brelo, but that all 13 are guilty as sin, and for, in the least, criminally negligent behavior that rises to the level of manslaughter.


Prosecutor McGinty and Ohio Attorney General Mike Dewine, both of whom are White, have repeatedly lobbied in support of the 12 officers that escaped prosecution, and both McGinty and DeWine were endorsed by local and state police unions.(www.clevelandurbannews.com) / (www.kathywraycolemanonlinenewsblog.com)

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
