UPDATE: Judge allowed reporter to see Sowell psych evaluation
CLEVELAND (AP) -- An Ohio judge has learned that a colleague allowed a newspaper reporter to see a psychiatric evaluation on a Cleveland man accused of killing 11 women.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold said Wednesday that Judge Timothy McGinty called her and said he had allowed a reporter at The Plain Dealer to see the report. The report concluded Sowell was unlikely to assault women after he finished a prison term for attempted rape.
Saffold has backed off a threat to arrest the journalist, Gabriel Baird. Saffold had ordered Baird be arrested after he missed a Tuesday hearing to find out his source.
McGinty was attending a family funeral and could not be reached for comment Wednesday. A message was left at his office.
