Probation Denied for New Richmond Woman
Probation denied for Addison as she seeks termination or transfer to Hamilton County. Attorney Priscilla O'Donnell argued hardship from twice weekly reporting due to unemployment and welfare status while Addison hopes to live with a relative in Cincinnati Northside for easier work and transport. State prosecutor Vincent Faris says probation is a privilege, not a right, and requests continued supervision in Clermont County. Judge Watson notes no value in transfer and calls non-violent crime comes with pitfalls in society.
