Appeals court rejects Zack appeal over corrected sentencing entry
The 9th District Court of Appeals tossed former Elyria police officer Todd Zack’s appeal after Lorain County judge Edward Zaleski corrected the 1998 sentencing entry to note a jury conviction. Zack served 10 years for rape and related charges and was paroled in 2008. His lawyers seek a new trial, alleging witness recantations and undisclosed information, while prosecutors claim the recanted accounts involve associates of Zack. In a separate Columbus note, Ohio's Controlling Board approved a $9 million, two year expansion for Intralot to develop the central gaming system for VLTs at seven tracks, under Kasich plans.
