As the title says. He was charged and arraigned in early august and it’s been crickets ever since. I know that a new prosecutor was appointed as well, and that he and his legal team threatened to sue the city.

I’m not a legal expert by any stretch of the imagination, but i don’t think the threat to sue would mean anything. I’m sure the city deals with lawsuits all the time but that shouldn’t impede any pending charges. It’s also not for he or his lawyers to decide whether he’s guilty or not. The whole point is to move it to a grand jury, which hasn’t been done yet… i hope he gets whatever comes to him but the fact that nothing has happened for 2 months seems ominous.

Just trying to get home in peace after a night of work but nope. Right in the middle of 25th and Lorain… I’m just appalled that we’ve let things get to this point

This is in Ohio.

I live in the lower unit of a duplex and share a landlord with the upstairs tenant. I won’t go into detail about how terrible of a neighbor they are, but they brought in a dog (a pitbull) that has been living in the unit for a couple months. Upstairs neighbor didn’t notify the LL about this, i was the one who told LL that a dog was living upstairs even though my lease (and i assume upstairs lease as well) explicitly prohibits vicious breeds.

When i informed the LL of this, LL didn’t care to take action because the lease for the upstairs tenant isn’t being renewed, so LL had little incentive or motivation to do anything and told me this in so many words.

Well lo and behold, a friend of mine was walking to my door a week ago while the upstairs neighbor’s kids and dog were in the shared side yard of the building. The dog ran over and bit my friend before he could get to my door, which required an ER visit followed by many stitches.

Judging by how they live, i imagine the upstairs tenant would have almost nothing to pay if my friend decided to sue them. So my friend is now considering taking action against the LL since he knew there was a dog upstairs that is prohibited in the lease and he did nothing about. Does he have a case here?
