The dogs will be in foster care until the women – Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight – decide whether they want to take the pets into their homes.CINCINNATI – A man whose lawyer helped him get acquitted on an attempted murder count now faces charges that he punched the attorney in the courtroom.
A Hamilton County Common Pleas jury convicted Dionte Lummus of felonious assault, robbery and other charges. He faces 34 years for those convictions, while he was found not guilty on the most serious count.
But he is charged with escape and assaulting an officer of the court.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports (http://cin.ci/YDeOmc) Lummus hit attorney William Oswall in the face Monday after he unsuccessfully tried to fire him in mid-trial. A deputy tackled him when he tried to run, the story said.
Oswall continued to argue his case, explaining that if the defendant was your brother or sister, you’d want him to continue to fight as hard as possible.
