Criminal Homicide in Ohio.

Merriam-Webster defines homicide as, “a killing of one human being by another.”  How does it affect the individual?  “A person commits criminal homicide if they intentionally, knowingly, or with criminal negligence causes the death of an individual.”  There are actually four different types of homicide in Ohio.

They are –

1.  Murder…intentionally and knowingly taking someone’s life.
2.  Capital Murder…the killing of a police officer or fire fighter.
3.  Manslaughter…recklessly causing the death of another individual.
4.  Criminally Negligent Homicide…some accidental killings fall into this category.

If you or a loved one are accused of any of the above four types of homicide, please immediately seek the services of a top criminal defense attorney.  That man in Akron and Northeast Ohio is Jon Sinn.  Take a look at his profile at sinnlaw.com.  Many times, the only sin you may have committed is NOT calling Jon.  Criminal defense lawyer Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.

The Horror of Fentanyl.

That is what illegal and indiscriminate use of this powerful drug have become in the State of Ohio.  Deaths from fentanyl, an opiate that is 30 to 50 times more potent than heroin, have skyrocketed in Ohio in recent years.  The Ohio Department of Health is gravely concerned because its use is growing rapidly across the state.

I want you to know that in Ohio, the penalties for drug offenses depend on how much of a drug and what type of a drug is involved.  That particular measurement is called a "bulk amount" and it's differs with each drug.  Currently state law would punish someone with a fourth-degree felony if they were found with just under 1 kilogram of marijuana, just under 10 grams of cocaine or crack or just under 5 grams of heroin.

Regardless of the charge ranging from possession and distribution of fentanyl down to possession of marijuana I will defend you.  My name is Jon Sinn.  I am an Akron Ohio drug defense attorney.  Many times, the only sin you may have committed is not calling me right away.  Attorney Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.

The Heat is On.

In the summer the weather is not the only thing that heats up in Ohio.  Tempers do the same!  There is a clear relationship between warmer weather and hotter tempers.  In one study done by Dr. Leah Schinasi, published in the Journal of Urban Health, it showed that disorderly conduct increased when daily temperatures are higher.

Overall, crime rates were highest in the warmest months of the year—May through September—and highest on the hottest days.  For example, when the heat index is over 90 degrees, rates of violent crime were 9 percent higher compared to days when the temperature was 57 degrees.  It just makes sense…the hotter it is the shorter are people’s tempers.

Akron criminal defense attorney Jon Sinn understands that, and with summer upon us there will probably be a rise in violent crime in the Northeast Ohio area.  Being arrested for a violent crime does not make you guilty.  Sometimes the only sin you may have committed is NOT calling Jon.  Attorney Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.

Guns in Vehicles in Ohio.

I don’t think I have to tell you that you are treading on dangerous ground here.  How does the state of Ohio treat this?  The Buckeye State prohibits any person from knowingly transporting or having in a motor vehicle a loaded firearm that is accessible to the operator or any passenger who has not left the vehicle.

Here MAY be some exceptions –


1.  The gun is unloaded
2.  It is in an enclosed package or case
3.  It is placed in a rack holder specifically made to carry that firearm
4.  The length of the firearm and barrel may also play a part

Being arrested in the state of Ohio on a charge of transporting a firearm or having it in your car does NOT necessarily mean you are guilty.  So pick up your phone immediately and call weapons charge defense attorney Jon Sinn.  Many times, the only sin you may have committed is not calling Jon.  Seek the council of Akron criminal lawyer Jon Sinn by calling (330) 431-0160.

The Long-Term Stigma of a Sex Crime.

In this era of Me Too and other heightened ways of raising awareness, America will not tolerate anything even remotely attached to a sex crime.  Let’s look at the dictionary meaning.  A sex crime is defined as a sex act that is considered deviant in nature.  There are many acts that fall under the heading of a sex crime.

Some of them are –


1.  Rape
2.  Physical abuse
3.  Battery
4.  Indecent exposure
5.  Child molestation

If you or a loved one have been accused of a sex crime in the State of Ohio, you should immediately call Northeast Ohio sex crime defense attorney Jon Sinn.  Many times, you will find that the only sin you have committed is NOT calling Jon.  He is Akron criminal defense attorney Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.

Physical Control.

This is not a football term that applies to Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns.  I know that we admire his steely-eyed coolness in the pocket, but in this case, it deals with being in a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs with one exception…physical control does not require that the vehicle have ever been driven or even started.

Here is a good example…you stagger out of the tavern and decide to “sleep it off” in your vehicle.  Maybe you decided to start the car, either to run the air conditioner or the heater, so the vehicle is actually running, then you drift off.  But make no mistake about it, you don’t even need to have the car running or even have the keys in the ignition in order to be in violation.

You may think that you have done the right thing…the safe thing!  Ohio law enforcement may think otherwise!  Akron DUI attorney Jon Sinn knows the angst that you are going through.  He is one of Ohio’s premier OVI lawyers.  Sometimes the only sin you may have committed is NOT calling Jon.  That’s Ohio DUI attorney Jon Sinn at (330) 431-0160.
