snip-"Columbus Police Chief Elaine Bryant said in a statement she would only be referring one sergeant to the Internal Affairs Bureau for an administrative investigation. The referrals came after an investigation by retired FBI agent Richard Wozniak and Columbus Special Prosecutor Kathleen Garber, who were tasked in 2020 with looking into alleged criminal misconduct by officers during protests in May and June following the murder of George Floyd Jr. by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin.
snip..."Bryant noted that any administrative investigation must also comply with the contract with Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge #9, which mandates all investigations occur within 90 days of the receipt of the complaint.. (bolding mine)
snip-"Trial began for one of the three charged criminally, Sgt. Holly Kanode, who faces charges of misdemeanor counts of dereliction of duty and falsification. But the trial came to a halt because of a Garber medical illness, a death in her family, and an attempt by her to have Franklin County Municipal Court Judge James O'Grady removed from hearing the trial after it had already begun.
The Ohio Supreme Court recently ruled that O'Grady would not be removed, and a date for resumption of Kanode's trial is expected to be determined soon. "
(Garber is Columbus Special Prosecutor Kathleen Garber)
The cops in this city are something.
