ColleCting for the hungry

RobeRt J. Lucas/RecoRd-couRieR

Mayor Jerry Fiala and a group of Kent State University students helped collect donations to Kent Social Ser-vices this weekend. From left are Karene Diabre, Emi-

ly Nighswander, Marquice Sewaro, Fiala, Rachel Hale and Lau-ra Bergstrom. The “fill the truck” event is the culmination of a month-long food drive challenge between Kent Social Servic-es and the Center of Hope in Ravenna. Fiala and Ravenna May-or Frank Seman have a friendly wager riding on which communi-ty will donate the most to help feed the hungry.

Probation, campus ban for KSU robbery

A Cleveland man who participated in a robbery at Kent State University in September 2015 has been sentenced to pro-bation on assault, weap-ons and drug charges and banned from uni-versity property for five years.

Bernard V. Pettway Jr., 20, recently was sen-tenced to four years pro-bation, which may be transferred to Cuyahoga County for supervision.

P e t t w a y p l e a d -ed guilty Feb. 9 to one count each of carrying a concealed weapon, a fourth-degree felony; trafficking in marijua-na, a fifth-degree felony with a forfeiture speci-fication; possession of criminal tools, a fifth-degree felony; and as-sault, a first-degree mis-demeanor.

Portage County Com-

mon Pleas Judge Lau-rie Pittman ordered Pettway to undergo a substance abuse evalu-ation and follow all the recommendations stem-ming from that evalua-tion. She also ordered him to find and keep a full-time job throughout probation and to have no contact with KSU for five years, according to her sentencing order.

Pettway was fined $300 and ordered to pay $276 in court costs. He also forfeited $87 in cash — proceeds from mar-ijuana sales that were seized by police follow-ing his arrest.

Pettway, Neville A.N. Robinson, 21, of Lake-wood, and a juvenile, 17, were arrested by KSU and Kent police after witnesses identified them as three men who had robbed a male vic-tim in the area of the Es-planade and South Lin-

coln Street just after 2 a.m. Sept. 11, 2015.

The victim, a res-ident of University Drive, flagged down a passing police cruiser and said he was jumped by a group of men who punched and kicked him, then took his cell-phone. The victim, Ben-jamin Latimer, suffered facial injuries in the as-sault.

Officers located the trio nearby. Pettway also had a loaded .22-caliber revolver, multiple bags of marijuana, a digital scale and cash in his backpack at the time of his arrest, police said.

Robinson was sen-tenced by Pittman to 30 months in prison in March. The juvenile was charged in with delin-quency by robbery and assault in Portage Coun-ty Juvenile Court, accord-ing to the Portage Coun-ty Prosecutor’s Office.

Court raises doubts in case of boy shooting dad

TOLEDO — The para-medics who looked at Robert Breininger’s life-less body in his twin bed suspected right away that whatever happened didn’t match the story being told by his 10-year-old son.

There was no way, they thought, his fa-ther was awake when the boy told them the gun accidentally went off. And it certainly ap-peared it was fired inch-es away from his head, not from the other side of the room.

Still, the shooting in rural northwestern Ohio was ruled an accident and stayed that way for nearly a decade until the boy told a former teach-er, and then investiga-tors, that Breininger’s wife, who had adopted the boy, persuaded him to kill his father because he was dying and to make it look like an ac-

cident. A jury convict-ed her of aggra-v a t e d murder and in-surance fraud in 2013.

Now, a court ruling is raising questions once again about what took place, ordering a new trial for Judith Hawkey, who’s serving a life sen-tence in a shooting that has been surrounded by mystery from almost from the moment it hap-pened.

State appeals court judges decided the sec-ond trial is warrant-ed because testimony shouldn’t have been al-lowed from three wit-nesses: a child abuse pediatrician, a clinical psychologist and the teacher in whom the boy confided years after the shooting.

While the ruling in late

March said there was enough evidence for a conviction, it also called the case against Hawkey not overwhelming — saying everything origi-nated from her adopted son, Corey Breininger.

“All of the conclusions reached by the profes-sionals and the author-ities were based upon what Corey told them,” the ruling said.

Prosecutors, who have asked the appeals court to reconsider its deci-sion, called the ruling contradictory and con-fusing. They also criti-cized the court for how it interpreted testimony in the case and making a decision “that appears to substitute its own opin-ion for that of the jury.”

What isn’t in dispute is that Corey, now 23, came home from school in au-tumn 2003 and fired the shot that killed his fa-ther after Hawkey had left their house outside Defiance, near the Indi-ana state line.

cincinnati — a southwest ohio county is at odds with cin-cinnati officials over the dis-posal of solid human waste.

the cincinnati enquirer re-ports that the latest spat be-tween the city and Hamilton county centers on the metro-politan sewer district closing its incinerator for maintenance.

it’s unclear when or if it will reopen because it no longer meets federal pollution stan-dards.

unless the ePa grants an extension, the sewer district must ship several truckloads a day of solid waste to a land-fill. backup incinerators aren’t operating at full capacity.

city officials say they want to build a $16 million sew-age digester to replace the incinerator. but county offi-cials say they don’t want to build anything until they study the issue. that could take un-til next year.
