[Gary James] didn't have any proven record of wage earning prior to his incarceration. His lost wage component of the settlement was not nearly as strong as [Tim Howard]'s," said James' attorney, James Owen. "In addition, he did not have the extensive legal fees that Tim had.
Howard actually had to go to trial in Franklin County Common Pleas Court to get a ruling of factual innocence even after a judge, former Franklin County Common Pleas Court Judge Michael Watson, threw out James' and Howard's convictions in the robbery/murder due to the fact that police hid evidence of their innocence from defense attorneys.

COLUMBUS -- A nonprofit organization and seven current and retired state prison employees filed suit Thursday against Gov. John Kasich and other state officials, seeking a court order to halt efforts to sell five state prisons, privatize their operations and lay off state prison workers.

COLUMBUS -- The Ohio Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to take up a case over the statewide indoor smoking ban that voters passed in 2006 and answer the question of whether health department officials overstepped their bounds when they cited a Columbus bar for violating the ban.
The Ohio Department of Health sued Zeno's Victorian Village in Columbus, which is represented by the 1851 Center for Constitutional Law, over its violations of the ban. Zeno's then countersued. Last year, the Franklin County Common Pleas Court sided with the bar, but then the 10th District Court of Appeals ruled 3-0 in favor of the state.
