Law director Pecora proposed using Ordinance 505.13 to permit up to four chickens on any land, while maintaining farming definitions for larger properties.

Inmate seeks conviction overturned in Cleveland case
Alfred Cleveland's attorney argued in a federal court that the 1991 murder conviction for the slaying of Marsha Blakely in Lorain should not stand. The defense warned the verdict rests on weak grounds while the state argued the jury rightly found guilt and appeals that his innocence claim is time barred. The judge had previously halted reopenings, but the 6th Circuit in 2012 said new evidence could yield a potential acquittal if heard by a jury.
