Boy, 5, hospitalized; legal guardian charged
A 5-year-old Fairmount boy remained in critical condition at Children's Hospital Medical Center and his aunt was in custody after doctors reported that the boy had been beaten.
Cincinnati police said Tuesday that they have charged Dorothy M. Young, 44, of 1934 Fairmount Ave., with the felonious assault of Daniel Bronson. She is the boy's legal guardian.
Friday, the Cincinnati Fire Division was called to Ms. Young's home because the child was hyperventilating. He was taken to Children's and doctors called police.
Cincinnati homicide investigators are asking that anyone with information regarding the case call 352-3040, or the homicide unit at 352-3542.
Trial date set in cab driver slaying
A judge Tuesday set April 3 as the start date of the trial for Denise Lipscomb, who was indicted last week on murder charges in the shooting death of a Silverton cab driver.
Pre-trial motions will be heard Dec. 14 and 15.
Although three others also were charged with murder in the case, prosecutors say they sought the death penalty for Ms. Lipscomb, of Winton Place, because they allege she is the one who shot John Arcady on Sept. 27 in Winton Terrace.
If convicted, Ms. Lipscomb could become the only woman on Ohio's death row.

Kroger plans to participate in the parts of the project that involve renovating the exteriors of both buildings and developing the apartments.

COLUMBUS — A juror's confusion over a judge's instructions resulted in a death sentence for a leader of the 1993 Lucasville prison riot, his lawyer told the Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday.
Jurors considering a sentence for Jason Robb should have been told that failing to reach a unanimous decision on a death sentence would have automatically resulted in a life prison sentence, Mr. Robb's attorney told the court.
