Swenski exits cases amid Tony dispute with Supreme Court
Lorain County Domestic Relations Judge Lisa Swenski removed herself from hearing Lorain attorney Michael Tony’s cases, citing appearance of impropriety. Tony sought Supreme Court intervention. Swenski had earlier paused then resumed handling the cases before stepping back again. The broader matter involves hypnosis allegations linked to former lawyer Michael W. Fine, who pleaded guilty to kidnapping charges and was ordered to prison, while Fine’s license was relinquished and the bar sought an emergency suspension.

New trial request denied in murder case
Lorain County Common Pleas Judge John Miraldi rejected Markus Martin's bid for a second murder trial after Belfiore signed an affidavit. The judge held Belfiore's testimony would not alter the jury's finding that Martin shared the intent to kill Davion Strupe two years ago, keeping the acquittal outcome intact.
