Woman serving life in ex-boyfriend’s killing wins clemency

COLUMBUS — Outgoing Ohio Gov. John Kasich has commuted the life sentence of a woman convicted of killing her ex-boyfriend who she said abused her for years.

Thomia Hunter’s lawyer says the Republican governor’s decision will allow her to be released in July.

The Ohio Parole Board had recommended the Cleveland woman’s sentence be commuted after it found the issue of her abusive ex-boyfriend never came up at her trial.

Cleveland.com reports the board also said evidence backed up Hunter’s claims that the man choked her and attacked her with a knife before she fatally stabbed him in 2004.

Ohio hunters check

over 14,000 deer in

muzzleloader season

COLUMBUS — State officials say hunters in Ohio harvested more than 14,000 white-tailed deer in this year’s muzzleloader season.

Ohio’s Department of Natural Resources says hunters in the state checked 14,182 deer in the season that ran from Saturday through Tuesday. That compares with 13,268 deer checked during last year’s muzzleloader season.

Ohio hunters will have additional opportunities to harvest deer this winter as the state’s archery season remains open through Sunday, Feb. 3.

The department says Ohio ranks fifth nationally in resident hunters and 11th in the number of jobs associated with hunting-related industries.

A publication from the National Shooting Sports Foundation has said hunting has a more than $853 million economic impact in Ohio through the sale of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more.
