"The Imperial Women Coalition calls for Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Mike O'Malley to push for a grand jury indictment on criminal charges against former judge and woman batterer Lance Mason to the fullest extent of the law," said Cleveland activist Kathy Wray Coleman, who leads the Imperial Women Coalition, an activist group founded relative to the murders of 11 Black women on Imperial Avenue on Cleveland's largely Black east side by serial killer and death row inmate Anthony Sowell.
On his Facebook page, as reprinted below, Williams said he loved Aisha and that she lived in fear of Lance Mason, who is now in custody and awaiting a county grand jury indictment, though he has already been indicted on a charge of felonious assault for injuring a Shaker Heights police officer at the scene of the crime on Saturday.
An only child, Aisha Fraser, 45, who was Black, was a sixth grade teacher at Woodbury Elementary School in Shaker Heights and their two daughters are Shaker Heights schools students.
Her murder on Saturday followed an assault on her person in 2014 by her ex-husband, and years of domestic violence that was common place by the narcissistic Mason in the Mason home, sources said.
Before he was ousted from the common pleas bench and stripped of his law licence over the felony assault conviction, Mason was the only Black male judge among three Blacks of 34 judges on the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas general division bench.
Lance Mason, 51 and also Black, was arrested on Aug. 3, 2014 in Shaker Heights following a physical altercation at Van Aken Boulevard near Glencairn Road in the car he was driving, and with his then wife and kids as passengers.
Court documents state that Mason hit his then wife Aisha in the face with his fist, bit her, and allegedly slammed her head against the dashboard of the car.
A 9-1-1 audiotape reveals that Aisha, who was transported to the hospital and later released, told the dispatcher that Mason beat her, threw her from the car, and then drove off with their two young children.
Mason took a plea deal in 2015 and served nine months of a two year prison sentence for felonious assault and domestic violence relative to the 2014 incident.
Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson, who will this year complete his first year of his fourth term, hired him in 2017 as administrator in the city's minority businesses department, the seasoned Black mayor saying after Mason murdered his ex-wife that he stands behind his decision to hire him because the city has a second-chance policy, and because he could not foresee the future.
But in spite of support from Black leaders, and from a visiting judge that freed him from prison 15 months shy of his two year sentence regarding the assault conviction, Mason remained angry and hostile, sources said, and he believed that he could do as he pleased to Aisha, the law be damned.
