Hoping the judge is ok and everyone involved is alright.


But Ohio doesn't really claim stubenville. It's more WV than Ohio.

Bull shit, it's not part of WV.
Word on street is it's the dad of one of the football plays that raped that girl.

In Ohio, the Probation Officers you see in most Courts of Common Pleas are retired or very seasoned cops.  Probation is kind of an old folks home for cops.  I know lots of them from many different counties and I can't think of more than a couple who couldn't or wouldn't "bring it" just like the PO in question.  They are OPOTA trained and full-fledged police officers, for the most part.  In some counties they see even more action than road deputies.

I'm guessing it's an irate ex-husband and his buddy / brother/ cousin / all three who didn't like the property division / visitation he was awarded.

Two people involved in the attack? That sounds odd.
The Court of Common Pleas sounds like it handles felonies and divorces, not much info there.
Probation officer killed one person and another was taken into custody.

You know it's odd how often angry people blame their own lawyer, not the other lawyer or judge. When i was clerking in law school a former public defender said he was pretty scared of his former clients and thought they were often more mad at him than anyone else ie "you didn't get me off the hook." I had a hearing a few months ago where a guy I was questioning went batshit, swore and left the building. You could hear him in the parking lot screaming about how much he hated his lawyer, not me or the judge.

Once after winning a felony arson trial, i.e., an acquittal, the "victim" showed up in my office yelling and screaming.  That was the worst problem I've had, thankfully.

The news account's witness's statement is very Steubenville:

"My alarm went off at 8 a.m., and I snoozed it, and a minute or two later, I heard approximately 7 or 8 gunshots, and I went to look out the window and I seen somebody in a white shirt, probably a detective, kneeling down firing at something, and that’s when I knew something happened down here," witness Cody Allison said.

Good shoot by judge and PO.

Too bad they didn't get both perps.  OTOH, maybe the judge in question can sentence the other bad guy.

It's a "side" thing, in my experience.  Most folks I deal with see the police, the judges, and the D.A.s as being the other side, and their own lawyer(s) as being on their side.  The other side is always out to get you, so whatever, but if your side fails you it smacks of betrayal.

Courts around me are filled with alot of PO and Leos outside standing by their vehicles, the POs are very serious about their jobs and most I believe are retired leo. Easiest way to spot one is most here carry handguns on the front of their vest.

I've been lucky. Never had a problem with a criminal client.

i represented a murderer (well
"manslaughterer") on appeal. I drove out to the prison and met with him. Very pleasant, he had an odd sing songey voice. Appeal went okay, forgot about it.

years later I stop at the  grocery store late at night and hear "Hi there!" In that same odd voice and almost screamed. I spun around and there he was. He was pretty cool, staying out of trouble and getting on with life, but God damn I almost shit myself.

That was a really crappy website. First, my computer screen goes black several times and then an advertisement fills my screen. Then I can finally see the article and the picture of the suspect being led away by law enforcement officers only shows half the image from the waist down.

A couple of years after I had arbitration for an insurance claim for an auto accident I scared the poop out of the insurance company's lawyer (who looked like a dummy during arbitration and wrapped up with a phony Matlock imitation of aha! gotcha! producing a medical document that I purportedly filled out but the handwriting was clearly not my scribbles).  The other guy rear ended me while I was stopped at a red light BTW.  

My wife and I were at the Dayton Auto Show and I walked purposefully up to a car I wanted to sit in because I always walk purposefully.  There were a couple of older gents standing by the open driver's door chatting, one of them saw me coming and recoiled with a no shit look of fear on his face.  I plopped my ass down in the car, checked it out and moved on to the next car.  Was puzzled at his reaction.  Took me awhile to remember that he was the insurance company's attorney.  Maybe it is that my neutral, relaxed, semi-happy expression looks like I'm pissed as hell thank you gravity very much.

No, they tried to protect the football plays that were accused of rape. Then it became National News.

Everyplace's problem is Heroin. But the big problems don't cross either bridge between Steubenville and Weirton.

Wheeling and Belmont County are a different story of course...

We're taking a very dim view of the whole thing here.  I've been saying for years that this was the way to get a Judge if you really wanted one.  Looks like this Judge had situational awareness and a buddy in tow.  

No amount of shooting at Judges will get your kid out of prison.  Quite the contrary.

If memory serves, the charges filed against the football players were handled by a visiting judge . . . this judge would not have been involved.  

Is the judge that was ambushed today a juvenile or general division common pleas court judge?
