Former Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Tim McGinty,  a Democrat who was elected as Cuyahoga County Prosecutor in 2012 to further his harassment of Blacks, other minorities, women and the public. He paid Ohio's Black press, the Call and Post, for an endorsement and now he runs the newspaper and the Cleveland Chapter NAACP. Community activists want him investigated by the FEDS and jailed. Below is an example of how corrupt judges like McGinty can do as they please to Blacks and women and  affidavits of prejudice to seek to get them removed form cases for harassment are ignored by the all White Ohio Supreme Court, which is just as corrupt, data show, and is now under the leadership of Corrupt Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice Maureen O'Connor, who was elected as the chief justice in 2010.  Remembering Corrupt And Racist Judge Tim McGinty As To The Prejudice Affidavit In The Ohio Supreme Court As To Black Journalist Kathy Wray Coleman   Journalist Kathy Wray Cole
