Trial date set again for mom accused of killing 3 sons BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio woman accused of suffocating her three sons has a new trial date. Brittany Pilkington, of Bellefontaine (behl-FOWN’tihn), has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder charges in the deaths of her toddler and two infants in 2014 and 2015. Prosecutors say she was jealous over the attention her husband gave the children. The Springfield News-Sun reports Pilkington’s trial is scheduled Sept. 23. A judge in February found parts of Pilkington’s police interrogation without legal counsel, food, water and rest crossed the line, but ruled most of her statements to police can be used at trial. Defense attorneys had argued the statements should be tossed. They’ve said their experts found Pilkington has brain damage and a low IQ, impairing her ability to knowingly waive her rights and understand the interrogation.

In Ohio, state Rep. Kristin Boggs, a Democrat, said she’s not optimistic the upcoming version of the marital rape bill will be any more successful in the Republican-controlled Legislature than it has been in the past. But at least one past opponent — the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association — has evolved on the issue. Executive Director Lou Tobin said he expects the group will support a bill that seeks to eliminate the exemption. “In the past, I know that there’s been some concern that these cases are difficult to prove; they can be a lot of hesaid, she-said back and forth,” Tobin said. “But sorting through those things is what prosecutors are for.” Boggs’ bill would again call for removing references to the marital exemption throughout Ohio’s criminal code. Her argument in favor of it is straightforward. “Our rationale for introducing this legislation is simply that your legal relationship to another human being shouldn’t give you permission to rape them,” she said.

Her ex-husband ultimately pleaded guilty to a gross misdemeanor charge of invading her privacy and served 30 days in the county jail. Still shocked that he could not be charged with a felony because of the state law, Teeson decided to take action. “I thought if I can’t have the law be in place to keep myself, my kids and my community safe, I could wallow in it, or I could do something about it,” she said. The AP does not normally identify victims of sexual assault, but Teeson has shared her story publicly, including during testimony before legislative committees. Democratic state Sen. Karla Bigham credited Teeson’s advocacy for persuading lawmakers to pass the bill. “She had to relive the trauma every time she shared her story,” Bigham told her colleagues during a debate in the Senate chamber this past week. “Her voice speaks loudly to those women who deserve justice. Let’s do the right thing. Let’s right this wrong.” AEquitas, a resource for prosecutors, reported last month that 17 states still maintain some form of the exemption for spouses who rape partners when they are drugged or otherwise incapacitated: Alabama, Alaska, Con- 85° 63° Adelphi 77/52 Waverly 79/54 Pollen: 513 Low MOON PHASES THURSDAY Shown is today’s weather.

Those ideas have never truly disappeared, said Weisberg, author of a new reference book on domestic violence law. She said other arguments for such laws are that marital privacy is a constitutional right, as when spouses can’t be forced to testify against one another in court, that marital rape isn’t serious enough to criminalize and that it would be difficult to prove. For those and other reasons, Weisberg said marital rape laws have not kept pace with other domestic violence laws. That means in some cases an unmarried domestic partner has more legal protections against attack than a spouse. Changing attitudes — and laws — about marital rape is what drove Jenny Teeson to go public this year with her story. The 39-year-old from Andover, Minnesota, was going through a divorce in 2017 when she discovered a flash drive with videos taken by her husband. They showed him penetrating her with an object while she lay drugged and unconscious. In one, their 4-year-old lay next to her on the bed. Teeson turned the videos over to the police. After an investigation, her husband was charged with thirddegree criminal sexual assault against an incapacitated victim. Charges were brought in the EXTENDED FORECAST 8 PM ALMANAC High Low Normal high Normal low Record high Record low tion. Some impose short timeframes for victims to report spousal rape. A recent Maryland bill sought to erase the marital exemption for all sex crimes. During discussion of the bill, one skeptical male lawmaker wondered whether a spouse might be charged with sexual assault for “smacking the other’s behind” during an argument. Maryland Del. Frank Conaway Jr., a Baltimore Democrat, raised religious concerns. “If your religion believes if you’re married, two are as one body, then what happens? Can you get a religious exemption?” he asked. “No, I would actually say that the First Amendment would prevent the state from getting entangled in that sort of judgment,” replied Lisae Jordan, executive director of the Maryland Coalition Against Sexual Assault. “So you would have to rely on your faith and your commitment to that to not bring those charges. But that’s no place for the General Assembly.” The bill died in March. Professor D.

One changes—the other does not. Adding or dropping pounds does not make a person’s worth go up and down. Fear of fat. “Why do modern women in the most affluent countries in the world live like starving people in a primitive land? Why do they choose to be weak, apathetic and unable to fully contribute to their families, their careers, and their Melissa communities? It’s simple. They are Martin terrified of being fat. Women today Contributing are afraid to eat … afraid their bodcolumnist ies will be unacceptable in a society obsessed by thinness. It’s a fear that consumes, shatters lives, even kills… . The number one wish of brilliant, ambitious young women is not to save the rain forests or succeed in a career, but to lose weight.” Excerpt from Women Afraid to Eat Breaking Free in Today’s Weight-Obsessed World, a book by Frances M. Berg (1999). The Obesity Myth: Why America’s Obsession with Weight is Hazardous to Your Health by Paul Campos (2004) exposed the weakness of the evidence that being overweight is bad for health and the dangers of the current obsession with weight and weight loss in America. “Campos believes that the efforts to portray fat as unhealthy and unacceptable are driven by junk science, hatred of fat people, and a profit-hungry dieting industry.” www.livescience.com/. The number on a scale is not indicative of your human worth. Measuring self by measuring pounds is an erroneous belief—a hyped hullabaloo. Skinny does not equal happy. Body dissatisfaction is out of control. Who is propagating weightism, size prejudice, and appearance discrimination? Who is body-shamming? Who needs to zip their lips? Females are in body image bondage. Our selfworth and self-concept is tied up in knots. Like dancing puppets, we awkwardly shuffle to a repressive rhythm. Weight obsession is rampant. Can we cut the puppet strings? Don’t exercise because you reject your body— exercise because you accept your body and want it to be healthy. Stop sending hate messages to your skin, muscles, bones—and fat cells. Step away from the sensationalized selfie craze. Snapping and posting selfies lead to self-criticism as others spout off with judgmental comments. Why subject yourself to the catty crowd? Why compare your body to others? And even though you may receive positive remarks about your body—it’s still a focus on your outer container. And cyber body-bullying is a problem. The perfect Barbie doll body is a fallacy. However, Mattel has created three new bodies for Barbie; curvy, petite (shorter), and tall. Why? Because parents requested a more realistic Barbie body. And Mattel listened—it’s about time! Girls with negative body images are more likely to develop an eating disorder and to experience depression, isolation, and weight loss obsession. While the world may not see the difference between worth and weight, wise women do. And they can communicate unconditional worth to their daughters—regardless of size and shape. Regardless of breasts, booties, or belly bulges. Regardless of social media and Hollywood hoopla. Regardless. Preventing body image bondage for our daughters and granddaughters is essential. Let’s teach the next generation to accept natural body shapes and sizes. And that weight does not determine worth. Investigate the national and global influence of the media’s messages about body shape, size, and weight. Stand up and speak out against body image bondage. Gather facts and statistics and debate the fear of fat. Please say the following mantra to yourself daily, “My body is my container. It carries around my soul. And my essence. I will honor my body while working on being physically and emotionally healthy. My worth is not tied to my weight.” Find your inner female friend and be kind to her. Your worth is not determined by your weight. Reach:Melissa Martin, Ph.D, is an author, columnist, educator, and therapist. She lives in Scioto County, Ohio. www.melissamartinchildrensauthor.com.

Dem set to hold Barr in contempt By Mary Clare Jalonick and Lisa Mascaro Associated Press WASHINGTON — A House committee is poised to hold Attorney General William Barr in contempt of Congress — the opening salvo in what could be a lengthy, acrimonious court battle between House Democrats and President Donald Trump’s administration over special counsel Robert Mueller’s report . House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler scheduled a Wednesday vote to hold Barr in contempt of Congress, citing the Justice Department’s failure to provide the full text of Mueller’s report by the Monday morning deadline. Nadler, D-N.Y., said Barr’s failure to comply with a subpoena left them with “no choice but to initiate contempt proceedings.” The movement to hold Barr in contempt reflects the deepening rift between Democrats and Barr, whom they accuse of spinning the results of Mueller’s investigation to Trump’s benefit. Barr, in a memo summarizing Mueller’s investigation, said there was insufficient evidence that Trump obstructed justice — a conclusion Democrats fiercely dispute. Nadler said the version of Mueller’s report that has already been released to the public offered “disturbing evidence and analysis that President Trump engaged in obstruction of justice at the highest levels.” Now, he said, lawmakers need the full version and the underlying evidence “to determine how to best move forward with oversight, legislation and other constitutional responsibilities.” The committee said that contempt proceedings could be postponed if the attorney general makes a “good faith” effort to comply with the committee. For now, an agreement appears unlikely. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec said the department has “taken extraordinary steps to accommodate the House Judiciary Committee’s requests for information” regarding Mueller’s report, but that Nadler had not reciprocated. She noted that Democrats have refused to read a version of Mueller’s report with fewer redactions that has already been provided to Congress. Kupec said officials were continuing to engage with the committee, and that Nadler’s staff had Rio J.

Doug Collins, R-Georgia, the ranking member, waits on Thursday to start a hearing on the Mueller report without witness Attorney General William Barr who refused to appear, escalating an already acrimonious battle between Democrats and the Justice Department, on Capitol Hill in Washington. been invited to the department Wednesday “to discuss a mutually acceptable accommodation.” If the committee approves the contempt resolution against Barr, as expected, it would head to the full House for final approval. But that step is unlikely to lead to criminal charges. A House vote would send a criminal referral to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, a Justice Department official who is likely to defend the attorney general. Yet by pursuing contempt, Democrats hope to send a message to the Trump administration about their willingness to invoke congressional powers in the majority. Beyond Mueller’s report, House Democrats have, so far mostly unsuccessfully, subpoenaed administration witnesses and made efforts to gain access to Trump’s personal and business financial records. Trump has said he will block those efforts, declaring he will “fight all the subpoenas.” Democratic House leaders could file a civil lawsuit against the Justice Department to obtain the Mueller report— an option that could take months or even years to resolve. Some committee members have suggested they also could fine Barr as he withholds the information. They could also open impeachment proceedings against Trump, though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said she’s not interested in doing that, for now. Republicans have lambasted the Democratic tactics as overreach and defended Barr. The top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, Rep. Doug Collins of Georgia, said “Democrats have life is to never give up on your dreams.

There is precedent for sitting attorneys general to be held in contempt of Congress. In 2012, the House held then-Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over a botched gun-tracking operation known as Fast and Furious. Republicans cited the Justice Department’s failure to turn over, without any preconditions, documents related to the risky operation. The Justice Department took no action to prosecute the attorney general. Mueller’s report — now a bestseller even in redacted form — states that his investigation could not establish a criminal conspiracy between the Trump team and Russia. However, it did not reach a conclusion on whether Trump obstructed justice. Mueller didn’t charge Trump but wrote that he couldn’t exonerate him, either. House Judiciary Democrats say Congress is “the only body able to hold the president to account” since the Justice Department has a policy against indicting a sitting president. They say they need the full report and the evidence that it cites, including witness interviews and “items such as contemporaneous notes.” Nadler also wants every member of Congress to be able to read the full report. As the fight with Barr has escalated, Democrats have been in negotiations to hear from Mueller himself. Trump complicated those talks Sunday by tweeting that he would oppose Mueller’s testimony, reversing from his earlier position of leaving it up to Barr. elor’s degrees and 25 are receiving master’s degrees. 34 of these graduates have earned multiple degrees.

These students have worked hard in earning their degrees and certificates which will commence the next chapters of their meaningful lives,” Sax said. “We wish them well and support them in their future endeavors.” The institution’s administration, faculty, staff and boards of trustees wish the Class of 2019 the best of luck and thank the graduates’ families for supporting their achievements during their time at Rio. �Sports 6 Tuesday, May 7, 2019 Daily Sentinel Baseball postseason set in Ohio By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com Bryan Walters | OVP Sports River Valley third baseman Joel Horner, right, relays a throw to first baseman Alex Euton (23) during an April 10 TVC Ohio baseball contest against Alexander in Bidwell, Ohio.

After piling up 25 runs in a pair of wins on Friday, including a 13-0 mercy rule-shortened win over Indiana University Southeast, the University of Rio Grande managed just two runs in a pair of extra-inning outings on Saturday as the Grenadiers swept the RedStorm to claim the championship of the 2019 River States Conference Softball Tournament at Jackson Memorial Park. IU Southeast, the tourney’s No. 2 seed, posted a 4-2 win in eight innings to force a second final in the double-elimination event and then won the crown with a 3-0 win in eight innings in the nightcap. Top-seeded Rio Grande dropped to 34-14 with the losses - its first consecutive setbacks against conference foes since dropping four straight games at IU Southeast under the league’s old scheduling format on April 17-18, 2015. The runner-up finish also snapped a streak of five straight conference tournament championships for the RedStorm. The Grenadiers, who were facing Rio in the tournament title game for the fourth time in five seasons, improved to 32-23 with their second and third victories of the day. Head coach Joe Witten’s squad had reached the title tilt by defeating Point Park University in the loser’s bracket final earlier in the day. Both the RedStorm and the Grenadiers will be representing the RSC in the NAIA National Tournament - Rio as the regular season champion and IU Southeast as the tournament champion. The complete tournament field will be announced by the NAIA on Tuesday at 5 p.m. Saturday’s first final saw Southeast cough up a pair of one-run leads before scoring twice in the eighth inning to secure the win. The Grenadiers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the second on fielder’s choice grounder off the bat of Ashtyn Sharp, but Rio Grande knotted the score in the bottom of the third on a run-scoring single by junior Lexi Philen (Tallmadge, OH). IU Southeast regained the lead in the fifth on a two-out, pinch-hit single by Maggie Lubbehusen, but the RedStorm tied the game again in the bottom half of the frame when junior Michaela Criner (Bremen, OH) led off with a double, moved to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on a single by freshman Taylor Webb (Willow Wood, OH). That’s how things stayed until the top of the eighth inning. Lubbehusen singled to left with one out and, one out later, pinch-runner Reecie Gilliam stole second.

Rio’s winning rally in the 12th came off of Noah Richardson, the last of three pitchers for the Cougars. Surrell, a freshman from Carroll, Ohio, reached on a one-out error and moved to third on a perfectly executed hit-and-run single to right by senior David Rodriguez (Santo Domingo, D.R.), who earlier had shaved the deficit to 6-5 with a leadoff home run in the eighth inning. Michael Rodriguez, also a senior from Santo Domingo, D.R., who had struck out in each of his first five at-bats in the contest, hit a hard groundball on Richardson’s first offering to shortstop Kody Bledsoe, who made a diving stop of the ball. But as Bledsoe bounced up to make a throw home, the ball popped out of his hand and Surrell slid safely across the plate with the winning run. David Rodriguez finished 3-for-5 with two runs batted in, while Surrell had two hits and two RBIs. Junior Dylan Shockley (Minford, OH) tripled, doubled and drove in a run, while Cluxton also had two hits and an RBI. The win for Harvey was his 12th in 16 decisions and allowed him to tie the single-season school record for wins held jointly by Tyler Schunk and Ryan Robertson, both of whom turned the trick in 2010. Richardson suffered the loss for the Cougars, despite striking out five over 2-1/3 innings of work. Tavon Lindsay had three hits in a losing cause for IUK, while Clark finished 2-for-6. In Sunday’s first final, Rio Grande rallied from a trio of early one-run deficits before scoring four times in the fifth inning to take a lead it would never relinquish. The Cougars scored once in the home seventh to get within 7-5, but Whitney allowed just one hits and fanned two over the final two innings to secure the win for the RedStorm. Sophomore Caleb Fetzer (Van Wert, OH), making his first start of the season, earned the win for Rio. He allowed 10 hits and all five runs over seven innings. IUK starter Clarke Davenport took the loss, allowing 10 hits and seven runs oer 4-2/3 innings. Cluxton went 2-for-4 with two RBIs, while Michael Rodriguez, junior Eli Daniels (Minford, OH) and Reeser all had two hits in the victory. Michael Rodriguez and David Rodriguez both doubled and Shockley knocked in a pair of runs in the pivotal fourrun fifth. Noah Darr went 3-for5 with a home run, a double and two RBIs, while Clarke also went 3-for-5 with a homer and a double in a losing cause for the Cougars.
