Lawyer: Texas arson case prosecutor shows bias
Court Alerts
An Innocence Project attorney is questioning the impartiality of the prosecutor leading a Texas science panel's probe of an arson investigation that led to the execution of a Texas man.
Stephen Saloom of the Innocence Project said Friday at a panel meeting in Austin that prosecutor John Bradley shows "a lack of objectivity" in the Cameron Todd Willingham case.
Bradley has publicly called Willingham a "guilty monster."
Bradley is the chairman of the Texas Forensic Science Commission, which is investigating whether investigators committed professional misconduct in determining arson caused a 1991 fire that killed Willingham's three daughters. Willingham was executed in 2004.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
