Trial continues for Cincinnati officer in fatal shooting
Hamilton County Municipal Court Judge Ralph Winkler allowed Officer Stephen Roach’s trial to proceed without a jury. Prosecutor Steve McIntosh argued Roach’s actions in the April 7 shooting of Timothy Thomas, 19, showed criminal neglect and obstructed the investigation, while the defense sought to dismiss charges. The case follows Cincinnati’s riot period, the worst since 1968, with curfews, injuries, and mass arrests.
