Williams not guilty on drunken driving
DUI DWI Laws
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back Brian Williams has been found not guilty of drunk driving after a night of partying.
The athlete showed no reaction as the verdict was read Thursday. Had he been convicted, he faced up to a year in jail.
Officers say Williams swerved his Jaguar in front of a patrol car and had watery and bloodshot eyes and smelled of alcohol when he was arrested in September 2006. Authorities also said Williams was verbally abusive.
Williams testified he was not intoxicated, but acknowledged he lied when an officer asked him if he had any drinks.
Williams first pleaded no contest, but was allowed to drop his plea and go to trial.

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.
