Opponent criticizes chief justice's stance
CLEVELAND — An Ohio Supreme Court justice running for re-election in a hotly contested race has accused Chief Justice Thomas Moyer of violating the judicial conduct code by publicly favoring her opponent, a newspaper reported Saturday.
Justice Alice Robie Resnick, a Toledo Democrat, said she is considering filing a complaint against Chief Justice Moyer for making public comments supporting a fellow Republican, Cleveland Judge Terrence O'Donnell, who sits on the 8th Ohio Circuit Court of Appeals.
The judicial conduct code prohibits judges from expressing support or opposition to candidates for public office.
“It appears to me Moyer has violated this canon,” Justice Resnick told the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Chief Justice Moyer said Friday he isn't concerned about a possible complaint.
Cremation of woman is called improper
AKRON, Ohio — An Akron funeral home and two funeral directors face allegations of unprofessional conduct over a cremation done without written orders or approval by next of kin.
Esther D. Matthews, 86, who died Feb. 2 in an Akron nursing home, was cremated at the direction of a friend.
On Friday, the Ohio Board of Embalmers and Funeral Directors of Ohio filed charges of unprofessional conduct against Dunn-Quigley-Ciriello & Carr Funeral Home and funeral directors Nick J. Ciriello and Robert E. Shaw for allegedly failing to obtain proper authorization for the cremation.
Mr. Ciriello told the Cleveland Plain Dealer that he didn't see how his actions could be seen as a law violation of law.
Although the funeral home knew Ms. Matthews had relatives in Michigan and South Carolina, Mr. Ciriello and Mr. Shaw had her cremated at the request of Donald W. Daniels of Canton, board records show.
In 1997, Ms. Matthews gave Mr. Daniels power of attorney to make legal decisions for her. She also had named him as the first beneficiary in her will.
