Review Ordered Over Rape Case Dismissed For Tardy Prosecutor

An Ohio child rape case which was dismissed over a year ago by Judge Eileen Gallagher because Assistant County Prosecutor Mark Schneider was 45 minutes late will be reviewed by an Ohio appeals court thanks to an Ohio Supreme Court ruling yesterday.

The defendant, Norman Allen Craig was charged with raping a 10-year-old neighbor. The tardy prosecutor was apparently seeking to have the judge remove herself from the case which makes her ruling doubly suspect since it seemed to give her the excuse she was looking for.
