Judicial Release

What is Ohio Revised Code 2929.20? It is known as “sentence reduction through judicial release”. These days every state, including Ohio, wants as many people released from prison as soon as possible.

Self-Defense or Manslaughter…That is the Question.

Manslaughter is a serious crime. Circumstances may be mitigated due to manslaughter based on extenuating circumstances. Manslaughter does not require malice aforethought. Because of this distinction, the punishment tends to be much less than the punishment for murder, although the punishment for manslaughter is still very serious!

Although someone may kill someone in self-defense, this type of killing is not considered a crime like manslaughter is. The American justice system recognizes the right of someone to protect himself or herself from harm. The defendant must have believed that he or she was in imminent danger of harm and that a use of force was reasonably necessary.

That is a huge difference isn’t it? The fine line between self-defense and manslaughter is often razor-thin. You need a real bulldog with decades of experience to represent you. Just such a lawyer may well be Jon Sinn an Akron criminal defense attorney. Often, the only sin you have committed is NOT calling Jon right away at (330) 431-0160.  Visit www.sinnlaw.com today.

Marijuana Laws in the Akron Area.

Has anything changed since the 2020 election? The answer around here is “not so much”. Since the state passed a medical marijuana law in 2016, not many growing sites, processing facilities and dispensaries have been approved around the Buckeye state. It has quite simply slowed down the expansion of the cannabis industry.

While dispensaries do not dot the landscape in Summit County, dispensaries have opened in Cuyahoga County and in Canton. These dispensaries offer dry buds of marijuana where people with a prescription can use these buds in vaporizers and edibles. The election of 2020 has not advanced this cause. This is NOT Oregon!

Suffice to say, you may need to elicit the services of Jon Sinn if you are detained on a drug charge in the Buckeye State. If you live in Northeastern Ohio and you have been arrested on any charge of possessing or distributing drugs call Attorney Jon Sinn. Many times, the only sin you may have committed is NOT calling Jon right away. That is sinnlaw.com at (330) 431-0160.

Being Close to Loved Ones is Not Always What It’s Cracked up to Be.

It has been a bi-product of 2020. We are confined to quarters and, as a result, familiarity may sometimes breed contempt.
