Hello Friends,
The state of Ohio has a "Judicial Review" procedure wherein criminals may be released early from prison.
Cockfighter and convicted felon James Newcomb (pictured below) had his "Judicial Review" and was released last week after only serving 10 months of his 4 - 6 year prison term.
You will recall that Newcomb (first picture) and Shannon Clark (also a convicted felon) attacked SHARK President Steve Hindi and rammed Investigator Adam Fahnestock's vehicle (second picture) off the road into a ditch, when they were documenting the Newcomb's illegal cockfight. See video here.

See picture right, of James Newcomb and his wife Beckie watching a cockfight they were hosting while James was out on bail.
Beckie Newcomb is a drug counselor and case manager of patients struggling with drug addiction and/or mental health issues.
Considering that drugs and other criminal activity are associated with cockfighting, it is ironic that she is employed by Hometown Recovery and Counseling.

See Merritt and Beth Clifton's article for more information on Newcomb's early release.
