(ONN) – The judge in Cincinnati who had imposed a temporary restraining order against the state’s ‘Heartbeat Law’ has made it permanent.

A Hamilton County judge granted the injunction after a daylong hearing, saying the state’s argument that the Ohio Constitution does not mention abortion so it doesn’t protect the right to one is a flawed argument.

This allows for abortions up to 20 weeks of pregnancy in the state while a state constitutional challenge proceeds.

A spokesperson for the Ohio attorney general says they will wait and review the judge’s actual written order and consult with the governor’s administration as far as next steps.

A Findlay woman was convicted of aggravated vehicular homicide in connection with a Seneca County crash that killed a man from Findlay.

Seneca County Prosecuting Attorney Derek DeVine says Tiffany P. Robertson faces up to five years in prison when she’s sentenced at a later date, as well as a mandatory driver license suspension.

After the verdict, Robertson’s bond was revoked and she was taken to the Seneca County Jail.

The crash happened in July of 2020 on County Road 59, east of County Road 45 in southwest Seneca County.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol says Jeremy Martinez, 35, was westbound on County Road 59 when a car going eastbound being driven by Robertson drove left of center and struck him head-on.

Martinez was thrown from his motorcycle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Robertson was not injured.

An investigation by the Ohio State Highway Patrol concluded that in addition to crossing the centerline of County Road 59, Robertson had been operating her vehicle in excess of 100 miles per hour just prior to the crash at a curving portion of the road.

“These types of cases are time-consuming and difficult for both the investigators and prosecutors,” said Seneca County Prosecuting Attorney Derek DeVine.

“Our sympathies are extended to the family of Mr. Martinez, and we hope that this brings them some level of closure.”

The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library is partnering with the University of Findlay in bringing an interesting event to town that’s now being held in more than 80 countries.

It’s called the Human Library, and it engages people of different backgrounds in conversation by providing a non-judgmental environment for people to speak one-on-one.

The library’s Joel Mantey, on with WFIN’s Chris Oaks, says human volunteers act as “books” and are “checked out” for 15 minutes, to afford the participant, or the “reader” a chance to ask questions they might normally feel uncomfortable asking.

He says the interactions people get from participating in the Human Library help them better understand each other as human beings through conversation and engagement.

The event will be held on Tuesday, October 11th at the University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum.
