Prosecutor seeks Ohio Supreme Court review in Flontek case
The state requests Supreme Court guidance on whether Lenore Flontek, 53, was wrongly convicted for allowing her mother to rot to death. The Ninth District overturned her involuntary manslaughter and non support convictions, saying non support covers only finances, not care. The case involves Rosella Flontek in 1996 and cites related rulings in Butler and 12th District courts.

Ohio unions suffer another round as workers' comp overhaul passes
In Columbus, Republicans push a sweeping rewrite of Ohio workers' compensation to speed up claims and reduce premiums by about 100 million annually, prompting Democratic criticism that the bill aids big business. The measure tightens benefits duration to 52 weeks and renames permanent total disability to permanent total impairment while redefining eligibility factors.
