Jury selected as murder trial in missing man case gets under way
Prosecutors and a defense lawyer for a man charged with the death of his father chose a jury of five women and nine men Thursday, with trial testimony scheduled to begin Friday in Lucas County Common Pleas Court. Timothy Darrow, 39, of the 4100 block of Peak Street is charged with two alternative murder counts stemming from the July 27, 2017, disappearance and presumed death of Alvin Darrow, 63, from the 300 block of Majestic Drive in North Toledo. While questioning potential jurors before Judge Dean Mandros, prosecutor Jennifer Liptack-Wilson addressed the fact that there was no dead body found in the case. “Do you think that there is a rule requiring the state of Ohio to produce a deceased body in a murder case?” Ms. Liptack-Wilson asked. “No. None of you would be here then, right?”

'A piece of heaven': Toledo Catholics invigorated after National Eucharistic Congress
A young Daniel Thomas once sat in a pew at Mass and noticed his father striking his breast and saying, “My Lord and my God,” at the consecration. That was the Toledo bishop’s earliest memory of coming to understand the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Those words, spoken by the apostle Thomas after Jesus’ resurrection, are included on the bishop’s personal coat of arms. Bishop Thomas also used the biblical story in the impact session he gave Friday afternoon to some of the 60,000 Catholics gathered in Indianapolis for the 10th National Eucharistic Congress, the first in nearly a century. He and Sister Mercy Marie spoke about the mercy shown in the Eucharist, especially as it relates to abortion. Come November, Bishop Thomas will head the Committee on Pro-Life Activities for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops for a three-year term.

Local law enforcement endorses Merrin for Congress
Local law enforcement groups are supporting state Rep. Derek Merrin (R., Monclova Township) in the race for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District seat. Both the Toledo Police Command Officers Association and Toledo Police Patrolman’s Association have endorsed the candidate against his opponent, U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo). “Every day Toledo police officers, commanders put their lives on the line to protect and to serve our community,” Mr. Merrin said. “They deserve our gratitude, but they also merit our vocal support.” He condemned Ms. Kaptur’s support and co-sponsorship of the 2021 End Qualified Immunity Act which would have eliminated individual liability of police officers. In 1967, the Supreme Court invented the qualified immunity doctrine that prevents police officers from being sued for misconduct if they break the law. The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives but was not passed.
