Police killer found guilty of prostitute murder
Criminal Law
[##_1L|1218111352.jpg|width="120" height="84" alt=""|_##]A man already serving a life sentence for killing two police officers has been found guilty of the murder of a teenage prostitute in 1997. A Supreme Court jury has found 53-year-old Bandali Debs guilty of the shooting murder of Kristy Harty. The body of the 18-year-old prostitute was found on a bush track in Upper Beaconsfield, south-east of Melbourne, almost a decade ago. During the trial the court heard DNA from Debs was found on Ms Harty, and that Debs had access to guns with the same calibre bullets as the one that killed her.
Debs is already serving a life sentence without parole for the murders of policemen Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller in Moorabbin in 1998, a year after he murdered the teenager. His plea hearing will be held at a later date.

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.
