Former Ohio State Representative Connie Pillich, the current Democratic contender for Hamilton County Prosecutor, issued a press release calling for an ethics investigation into Hamilton County Prosecutor Melissa Powers, a Republican.
“Lois and Doug Morrow were violently assaulted in broad daylight, and Prosecutor Melissa Powers has failed to bring charges against their assailant for nearly a month and counting," Pillich says in the release. “The alleged attacker has been identified in media reports as a grandson of [Simon] Leis, the former Republican prosecutor, judge, and sheriff with deep connections to the local Republican Party.”
