Steubenville Municipal Judge Under Fire by Ministers
In Steubenville the municipal judge William Downer faced sharp criticism from six members of the Steubenville Ministerial Association during Sunday sermons. The Rev Norman Nygaard denounced him as a correspondence school jurist and ministers planned a meeting to seek special police powers for direct action against crime and disorder in the city. The dispute centered on a drunken driving case and the judge's lenient handling, with pastors urging tougher justice and warning against undermining public faith in the court system.
