Special prosecutor plea by Ruth draws ridicule
Ruth's attorney asks for a special prosecutor in the Lorain County Joint Vocational School case. Prosecution says the request lacks constitutional authority and is presumptuous. A hearing is scheduled with Judge Lynett McGough to rule after arguments from Niki Schwartz and Jonathan Rosenbaum. Ruth resigned in September before being indicted on 12 charges including theft in office and bribery. Schwartz cites Ruth's past friendship with county prosecutor Gregory White, noting housing of White's campaign worker during his 2004 congressional bid.
