Judge rules Felicity teacher exempt from assault charges
Clermont County Court Judge Robert Schaeffer ruled that Harold Messer, a Felicity teacher, followed proper procedure and that the April 22 paddling of four seventh and eighth graders was not unreasonable. The decision cited the Ohio Revised Code exemption for teachers and noted bruises were not decisive, while school officials affirmed adherence to policy and awaited sheriff investigations.

Williams awaits retrial in infant death case
Charles Ronald Williams, once from Mt. Carmel, freed on appeal for a new trial after being convicted in October 1981 of murdering his infant daughter. A judge barred him from living with his second child, Nicole Lee, born July 1, 1982, unless an adult not his wife is present. The 12th District Court of Appeals ordered a new trial on April 27, citing improper jury instructions on involuntary manslaughter as an alternative verdict. Open questions remain about custody and living arrangements as retrial is assigned to Judge Louis J. Schwartz.
