Lawmakers quickly and unanimously seek stiffer penalties following death of Cleveland firefighter Story:
CLEVELAND — In the wake of the tragic death of a Cleveland firefighter, Ohio lawmakers are poised to set higher mandatory prison sentences for individuals convicted of striking and killing firefighters and emergency medical personnel working alongside the roadway.
As officials at the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office were determining what to charge Bissell with, assistant county prosecutor and homicide unit supervisor Saleh Awadallah began researching state law for what possible sentence enhancements — known as specifications — would be eligible in Bissell’s case. To his surprise — and the surprise of Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O’Malley — the appropriate specification only applied to cases in which the victim is a peace officer or BCI agent.
I don’t know that I have ever seen an issue fixed as quick in Columbus as I just have. Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Michael O'Malley On Monday, O’Malley said he contacted State Representative Tom Patton and informed him of Awadallah’s discovery and analysis of the law. State Rep. Patton also looped in State Rep. Bride Rose Sweeney and the two brought forth an amendment that would change state law to include firefighters and emergency medical personnel in the sentence specification.
