Order Online : "The State of Ohio"
This week on "The State of Ohio": State lawmakers consider what they can do in the wake of the horrible and yet miraculous escape story out of Cleveland involving three women held prisoner in a house for a decade. New data shows more than half of all violent crimes are committed by a very small numbers of offenders. Lawmakers are now working to target that tiny group. And more thoughts on legislation that would dramatically change rules on unions in Ohio.
 

After getting blasted in campaign for old sex assault cases, AG creates commission to help.
By Bill Cohen - October 21, 2010
Attorney General Richard Cordray says he's put together a group of 21 people who will come up with guidelines for how sexual assault kits should be handled.


Cordray says the state already has robots that can test DNA effectively and he's adding more of them in the coming months. He says four of the robots will be dedicated to handling only sexual assault kits. And he hopes the commission will come up with a set of guidelines so that county law enforcement agencies will be handling those kits with some consistency.
