Lawyer: NYC teen didn't throw 9-year-old off roof
Attorneys News
The lawyer for a New York City teenager accused of tossing a 9-year-old boy off the roof of a five-story building says it was "a tragic accident."
Seventeen-year-old Carmine Aska was arraigned Sunday on attempted murder, assault and other charges.
Attorney Kathryn Dyer said Aska did not intentionally push his neighbor, Freddy Martin, from the roof.
She asked that her client be freed on his own recognizance or low bail.
Assistant District Attorney Dahlia Olsher Tannen said that despite his injuries, the victim was able to tell emergency medical technicians that Aska dragged him to the roof and threw him off.
The victim was discovered late Friday lying unconscious near the building in the Bronx. He was in a medically induced coma at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.

Grounds for Divorce in Ohio - Sylkatis Law, LLC
A divorce in Ohio is filed when there is typically “fault” by one of the parties and party not at “fault” seeks to end the marriage. A court in Ohio may grant a divorce for the following reasons:
• Willful absence of the adverse party for one year
• Adultery
• Extreme cruelty
• Fraudulent contract
• Any gross neglect of duty
• Habitual drunkenness
• Imprisonment in a correctional institution at the time of filing the complaint
• Procurement of a divorce outside this state by the other party
Additionally, there are two “no-fault” basis for which a court may grant a divorce:
• When the parties have, without interruption for one year, lived separate and apart without cohabitation
• Incompatibility, unless denied by either party
However, whether or not the the court grants the divorce for “fault” or not, in Ohio the party not at “fault” will not get a bigger slice of the marital property.
