Judge orders new trial on death of infant
A man convicted in August of murder in the death of his infant son has won his request for a new trial. Ahmad Williams, 24, was convicted last summer of murder and felonious assault in the death of his 10-month-old son, Messiah Williams, in 2022. The boy died of a fatal brain injury that the prosecution argued was a result of abuse. In her ruling Thursday, Lucas County Common Pleas Judge Stacy Cook agreed with the arguments made by Williams’ attorney, Samuel Kaplan, that one juror’s comments during deliberations had an impact on the jury’s verdict. The defendant had claimed he accidentally dropped the child.

Another attendee who spoke during the meeting, James Skowronski, said in an interview his concerns are also about “losing” parts of his Secor roadside property. “They [would] move the roadway too close to my house, and I [would] have no privacy between my house and Secor,” Mr. Skowronski said. “ ...
