Cuyahoga County Court Of Common Pleas Judge Timothy McGinty Journalist Kathy Wray Coleman From the Metro Desk of the Determiner Weekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network The Ohio Eighth District Court of Appeals has sent a lawsuit filed by African-American Journalist Kathy Wray Coleman against Defendant Myrna R. Gill and other defendants in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas back to the docket of Cuyahoga Judge Timothy McGinty after previously reinstating claims of criminal malicious prosecution and intentional infliction of emotional distress relative to Gill. Case documents reveal that Gill allegedly lied when she claimed that Coleman had merely called her when she allegedly told her not to since 2003 and that prosecutors refused to prosecute Gill after Coleman filed a criminal complaint of alleged falsification with data written by Gill noting that she and Coleman had consulted at least eight times in 2004.

By Kathy Wray Coleman Editor of the Determiner Weekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network Cleveland Safety Director Martin Flask and Police Chief Michael McGraph, two members of Cleveland, Ohio's all non-Black top city law enforcement team, told CBS Evening News With Katie Couric that no wrongdoing occurred by police or prosecutors regarding the celebrated murders of 11 Black women on Imperial Ave. at the hands of suspected serial killer Anthony Sowell.

Cuyahoga County Court Of Common Pleas Judge Stuart Friedman From the Metro Desk of the Determiner Weekly. Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network To all media and others. Below is a press statement that I received from Sharon Dannan regarding the upcoming protest relative to the two Black women on trial in the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas for alleged assault on two White Cleveland police officers (Rebecca Whitby Sr. and Rebecca Whitby Jr.) and for me.

We urge the media and Black leaders to stand up relative to this serious matter and would again ask Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson to lodge an investigation of police conduct around this issue. Read Danann's statement below where she is a Harvard educated activist and a long time fighter for the disenfranchised,

Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Bill Mason Community Activist Art McKoy By Kathy Wray Coleman Editor of the Determiner Weekly.Com and the Kathy Wray Coleman Online News Blog and Media Network (Cleveland, Ohio Area News) In a 13 page opinion released on Thursday, a three-judge panel of the Ohio Eighth District Court of Appeals unanimously upheld an order issued last year by Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Nancy Margaret Russo for prosecutors to immediately give up the identity before trial of an alleged confidential informant in the pending drug case against Community Activist Art McKoy. On behalf of the State of Ohio county prosecutor Bill Mason had appealed Russo's decision arguing that the judge abused her discretion in granting McKoy's motion for identity of the alleged informant and that the alleged informant and his or her family would be subjected to physical harm unless prosecutors could withhold his or her identity from defense counsel until after the trial begins, which
