Court Alerts
[##_1L|1323765146.jpg|width="142" height="117" alt=""|_##]Two of five teens have pleaded guilty to their role in a group sex assault recorded on a cell phone. Sixteen-year-old Reginald Pope Junior of Detroit, and 19-year-old Robinson Brown of Clinton Township pleaded guilty yesterday before a Macomb County judge. They were charged in the rape of an eleven-year-old girl in Pope's basement bedroom of an Eastpointe home.
Prosecutors are recommending that Pope be placed on probation while Brown gets at least two and a-half years in prison. Both will be sentenced in July. Investigators say the girl wasn't threatened but she felt coerced into complying.
Prosecutors are in plea discussions with attorneys for the three other defendants.

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.
