Ohio crime law challenged as too broad in court
In Cincinnati the Common Pleas Court judge ruled Ohio's organized crime statute unconstitutional, calling it a broad catch-all for five or more conspirators. The law, in effect since 1974, targets wide offenses and awaits a state Supreme Court decision. In Lorain, Douglas D. Spitzer, Democratic candidate for the 72nd district, faces Oberlin Municipal Court on Labor Day for allegedly stealing an American flag from a pole. He was charged with disorderly conduct after a citizen saw him on the bumper of his campaign van. Spitzer dismisses the incident as minor and says he will plead in court against incumbent Marie Tansey.
