RI federal prosecutor pleads not guilty to DUI
DUI DWI Laws
A federal prosecutor from Rhode Island has pleaded not guilty to drunken driving after police decided to charge him following questions about whether he was let off the hook because of his connections.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Gerard Sullivan appeared in District Court Friday and was released after he promised to appear at his next court hearing Dec. 15. He left without commenting.
Sullivan was pulled over for driving erratically early Thanksgiving morning. Police say he told them he had had too much to drink, and mentioned several times he was a prosecutor and knew their chief before refusing a breathalyzer test. He was initially charged only with refusing a chemical breath test.
Warwick police and the U.S. Department of Justice are both investigating.

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.
