COLUMBUS, Ohio – An Ohio man will receive $1.3 million from the state of Ohio as compensation for the 21 years he spent in prison for a reported home invasion and robbery that perhaps never occurred.

Ralph Blaine Smith will split the amount with his lawyers, who in December filed a wrongful imprisonment claim against the state in the Ohio Court of Claims. A settlement agreement between the two parties was reached shortly thereafter.

On Monday, the Ohio Controlling Board approved the release of the settlement payment to Smith for his wrongful imprisonment claim.

Reached by phone Tuesday, Smith said the settlement will allow him to take care of his family.

"They helped me out a lot when I was incarcerated with visits and phone calls. I'd like to make things a little easier on them," he said.

Smith was accused of being one of two Black men who forced their way into a Lancaster home that was occupied by a man and a woman and their young children on Feb. 2, 2000. The adults told police the intruders reportedly forced one of them to open a safe, from which they stole rare comic books and approximately $10,000 in cash.

Canada: Gunman in Canadian mass shooting had feud with condo board; 3 of 5 victims board members, police say

Chicago: A corrupt cop destroyed hundreds of lives. Now victims want justice.

Judge claims prosecutors withheld evidence

The prosecution's case hinged entirely on the two adult victims identifying Smith from a photo array, which they reaffirmed in court testimony. There was no other evidence linking Smith to the crime, and no one else has been charged in the case. None of the items reported stolen was recovered.

Fairfield County Common Pleas Judge Richard E. Berens in June 2021 granted Smith a new trial, ruling that prosecutors at the time had withheld evidence that suggested the crime never occurred.

Fairfield County Prosecutor Kyle Witt, who wasn't the prosecutor at the time of Smith's conviction in August 2000, later decided to drop all charges against Smith rather than pursue a second trial.

The motion for a new trial for Smith focused on evidence suggesting that the crime may have been staged. Among the pieces of evidence that county prosecutors at the time failed to provide to the defense was a narrative supplement, written by one of the first police officers to arrive at the residence after the reported robbery.

That supplemental narrative "contains numerous observations expressing skepticism about whether a crime had occurred," Berens stated in his order granting Smith a new trial. The responding officer wondered how multiple men could have conducted an armed home invasion and fled the Lancaster house without leaving tracks in the snow that covered the area.

Berens determined that evidence was "exculpatory," meaning that it could create reasonable doubt about the defendant's guilt and that prosecutors were required to share it with the defense.

Smith also is pursuing a federal lawsuit against the Pickerington police detective who investigated his case, the city of Pickerington and Fairfield County. Depositions in that case are ongoing, said Columbus defense attorney Joe Landusky.

Also named as a defendant in that lawsuit filed in January 2022 in the U.S. District Court in the Southern District of Ohio in Columbus was then-Fairfield County Prosecutor Gregg Marx, who handled Smith’s case. But U.S. District Chief Judge Algenon L. Marbley in November dismissed the claims made against Marx, court records show.

Born in 1919 South Carolina into a family of sharecroppers, WWII veteran Isaac Woodard knew struggle and poverty from a very early age --dropping out of school at the age of 11 and then leaving home altogether at 15, in search of better prospects than Fairfield County. After some years laboring in a lumberyard, Woodard joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, a New Deal public work relief program. In 1942, Woodard was drafted into the U.S. Army, along with an estimated 675,000 other Black Americans. He was eventually deployed to the South Pacific in 1944, serving with the 429th Port Battalion --a segregated unit. During the brutal New Guinea campaign, Woodard saw a great deal of action and was promoted to Corporal, and then ultimately to Sergeant, earning a battle star for combat service, along with a number of other medals. Thusly decorated, Woodard was honorably discharged from service and flew home to Augusta, Georgia, where on February 12, 1946, he caught a bus back to South Carolina and his family --literally the very last leg of his long journey home.

Enroute, a stray comment from Woodard to the bus driver about rest stops swiftly led to an altercation --the bus driver deemed Woodard's "attitude" to be insufficiently deferential, resulting in a call to the Batesburg-Leeville, South Carolina police department. In very short order Woodard found himself arrested and severely beaten by police, gouging out both of his eyes. Still in his uniform, Woodard was left sightless overnight in a jail cell, only to be formally charged with "drunk and disorderly conduct" the following morning. Woodard spent the next 2 months in a VA hospital, ultimately rejoining his family in New York, where they had decided to move.

Unprepared for a life of blindness in an unfamiliar city, Woodard reached out to the NAACP, who took up his case and turned him into something of a cause célèbre for a time --even meriting publicity from such luminaries as actor Orson Welles, and musicians Nat King Cole and Billie Holiday. Woodard found himself crisscrossing the very nation he had served, recounting his story and garnering some measure of fame, though this would be of no practical help during two failed attempts to bring his attackers to trial. The ultimate measure of Woodard's notoriety came in 1948 when President Truman issued Executive Order 9981, desegregating the U.S. Armed Forces (see Lesson #68 in this series).

Woodard's time in the national spotlight soon faded and he was faced with the more immediate problem of obtaining benefits from the VA --on a technicality, since his assault and blinding happened after his term of service, he did not qualify for full benefits nor payments. Woodard was forced into public housing in the Bronx but with his family's help was ultimately able to buy the building and became a landlord, living quietly and mostly forgotten for the next decade. In 1956 an article in Jet magazine brought some measure of national attention back to his plight and eventually led Congress to pass an amended piece of legislation that would now award full disability benefits to any veteran injured between their time of discharge and their arrival at home. Further legislative improvements to VA benefits followed in the 1970s, and Woodard was able to purchase additional property in the Bronx and lived there with his sons until his death in 1992. He is buried with other U.S. veterans at Calverton National Cemetery and a plaque now marks the site in Batesburg-Leeville where Woodard was attacked and dragged from his bus.

Daniel Tschopp Log House — Pleasant Township, Fairfield County, Ohio by Christopher Riley

Via Flickr:

One of few relatively unaltered early-19th-century log buildings remaining in Fairfield County, and a possible example of a locally rare Germanic three-room plan. The house’s builder, Daniel Tschopp, was a native of Switzerland who moved to Pleasant Township in 1815. Tschopp worked as a millwright, and he presumably donated land for the nearby Tschopp Cemetery and belonged to the adjacent St. Peter’s German Reformed Church. By 1860, just before his death, Tschopp had acquired $6,160 in real estate, and his personal property was valued at $1,653.

Okay but it needs to be understood that everything that takes place in connecticut comes in 3 forms; 1. we have rich characters who will be from this one section(fairfield county) that just a really rich suburb of NYC/basically upstate NY 2. This is a thriller about rich people from that same county 3. A lot of Adam Sandler films....for some reason. Whenever new haven county is addressed its usually just actually about Yale which is like if every movie set in LA only focused on UCLA or Columbia if it was set in NYC, like ONLY that. Even As Told By Ginger is probably meant to take place in fucking fairfield county. I’ve worked in fairfield county, its fucking insufferable. So having Owl House be about my New Haven county is such a win that took so fucking long for some reason. To have people googling and marvel at places that I’ve just known as my life is hilarious and just charming in its own way.

Another day I could probably do a long overdue presentation on dissing fairfield county and how I will tear my hair out for it being the representation of the state as a whole when it’s more in line with upstate new york but another day.

San Francisco by Night... kinda sucks imo

[ID: dreamy enhanced photograph of the Golden Gate Bridge from the wharf, with foamy waters and a pink sunset over the hills]

“SF” or “the City”. “Frisco” is unacceptable. this is literally the first thing anyone here will say. i got made so much fun of when i moved, pls save yourself.

The racist overtones of the Middle Kingdom are well documented (but, if you wanna hear me rant, it’s under the read-more), so I’ll mainly complain about the obvious one to me.

Between the “Kindred of the East” city-book and the “Changling” book on SF, they still failed to get something right.

Sense of Scale

SF is a city of less than a million. It’s cramped. Shoved up against the water on all sides, there is literally no more room to build out (and don’t even think about trying to build up! i swear, there are some gnarly vampire politicians messing with building and zoning laws here). I came from a midwest city that’s larger than SF -- it’s not hard.

BUT

Bridge toll is reasonable-ish. Trains cross the Bay. There is no real hard line between San Francisco and South San Francisco (yes, different cities). In the East Bay, divides are even slimmer. Like, a couple of blocks-ish between Oakland and Berkeley. Maybe the county has the lines, but it really doesn’t matter.

It’s all just the Bay Area.

SF By Night doesn’t even think about this. As if, being on the peninsula, the City is entirely locked in. Gary is further from Chicago than Oakland is from SF. For gods sake, ppl live in Fairfield and commute into Palo Alto.

This is the Bay Area. 9 counties. 9 million people.

[ID: a detailed and colour-coded map of the Bay Area, including many cities, highways, bridges, and honestly it’s a crayon scribble of a mess]

Fairfield to San Jose is 1.5hrs, tops. It’s very crowded, densely urban with swathes of protected hills and redwoods, and yet compact?

It’s also very neatly divided into five : North Bay, East Bay, South Bay, SF, and the Peninsula. It’s almost as neatly squared off as New York City boroughs, in terms of splitting domain.

North Bay : rich. touristy. wine, fine dining, resorts. classy in a way your mom likes and your aging hipster friend thinks is innovative. (unless you’re in Solano County, which is very East Bay)

East Bay : poster child of the area. homelessness. violence. some gangs. faltering blue collar industry. broken hippies. chic hipster food. underground music (ppl who love or hate Green Day). craft beer. gentrification. also, “UC Berkeley” (University of California: Berkeley). (unless you’re east of the hills from concord south, in which case it’s WASP city)

South Bay : baby white collar tech grads. new developments. silicon valley. new wealth that thinks it “won’t be like THOSE rich people”. punished communities of chinese, vietnamese, and latino immigrants.

Peninsula : very much like the east bay -- grubby, industrial commercial areas spliced with Stanford and incredibly stupidly priced houses.

SF : new rich that thinks it’s old money. crime and locals fighting gentrification from “liberals”. hipsters and social vultures pretending to be rebels. everything is kinda dated, not cool, and clinging to relevance.

From politics and the upper crust, there’s a vibe of “we’re in a liberal paradise, we don’t need any more progress!” People crutch onto the identity of California Democrat, while being anti-Black, anti-Asian, against improvements for homelessness or public transit or the housing crisis.

It is violently hypocritical. People don’t live their values. Class divides started sharp and have only gotten sharper, and harder. There’s a feeling of desperation, of remembering when days were easier. At the same time, a lot of the “wealthy” are only “comfortable” and living tight.

Isn’t that a great setting for the World of Darkness?

god do I have to do everything myself?

The Middle Kingdom / Keui-jin

does. not. work.

It doesn’t work to such a degree that V5 scrapped the “eastern vampires” entirely. The Camarilla now has footholds in Singapore and Tokyo.

Once, there was a pan-Asian race of vampire-like creatures. They’re similar enough that it kinda flies in the face of the Caine myth, but reading their mechanics and history is a bit of a Scrabble box of cultural words from... various Asian countries. Hun and po. Chi. Dharma. Karmic cycle. Ying and yang. A lot about tigers and dragons.

The name is a mash-up of Mandarin and Japanese, which is pretty on-point since the only two countries mentioned seem to be China and Japan.

The main mechanical improvement is the dharmas, which work (not as Hindu dharma) as paths to enlightenment. Like Humanity, a dharma functions a little like a morality scale, but is mainly a concept of spirituality in an attempt to break out of the undead state and earn the universe’s favour to escape reincarnation.

Like, a Buddhist or Hindu take on vampires would be very cool. Cursed to be ripped from the natural cycle of reincarnation? Trapped to wander the earth as an echo of your mortal self? Great. Make that a standard kindred and you got a very interesting character concept.

also this horrible theme...

All City books start out with some themes for the city. All cities in WOD become characters, so that’s always cool.

Uh.

[ID: title, “Colonialism”, text, “The Middle Kingdom suffered under more than a century of European colonialism, which forced alien laws, values and conditions on nations and cultures thousands of years old. Although many of Asia’s nations have reasserted their own cultural identities, the legacy born of European influence and rule remain like a bitter aftertaste. Now the Kuei-jin of the August Courts have turned the tables on the West, invading and occupying two of their cities and imposing their own rules and requirements.”]

Now, if any of the Kuei-Jin came from countries that suffered under western colonialism, that would be cool. But, as often in white media, the only countries that exist are China and Japan -- both with their own colonizing history.

I appreciate the emphasis on Asian (particularly east Asian) immigrants in the Bay Area, which has substantial Chinese, Filipino, and Vietnamese populations. But. This? This isn’t good. The racist “Uno reverse no you” horror plot is trying to sound progressive : “oh no, we invaded and colonized them, so now they treat us the way we treated them!”

A man accused of shooting two people, killing one of them, at a Walmart in Butler County has been indicted on several charges.

A grand jury handed up an indictment against Anthony Brown, 32, Thursday for one count of murder, aggravated murder, aggravated robbery, felonious assault and having weapons while under disability, according to online court records.

Brown was accused of attempting to steal items from the electronic section at the Walmart store in Fairfield Twp. on May 26. Police said shopper tried to stop the suspect, later identified as Brown, but he was able to pull away and run toward the door.

A second shopper then tried to stop him. Police said that it was then that the Brown pulled out a handgun and shot the individual. That person, Adam Black, 35, of Columbus, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police said an employee, later identified as Eric Ruff, who was also in the area and tried to help was shot. Ruff was transported to an area hospital in serious condition. Police told News Center 7 Thursday that Ruff remains hospitalized and is in non-life threatening condition.

Brown was taken into custody early Friday morning after a SWAT standoff at the Fairfield Inn in Middletown.

Brown appeared in court earlier this week for a suppression hearing related to an aggravated robbery charge from 2021. He was out on a $200,000 bond for this charge when he was accused of the deadly shooting.

On Tuesday, new bond of $300,000 was issued for the aggravated robbery charge. Since he had previously posted a $200,000 bond, he would only need pay $100,000 to be released and put under house arrest. However, a $5 million bond remains for the charges he was indicted on today.

An arraignment date has not been set at this time. Brown is currently booked in the Butler County Jail, according to online jail records.
