Morgan sentenced to 11 years in prison
By Sarah Hawley
shawley@aimmediamidwest.com

POMEROY — A Rutland man was sentenced
to 11 years in prison for
attempted murder on
Tuesday morning.
Following a conviction
on Monday for attempted
murder and two counts
of felonious assault,
Danny Morgan Sr., 53,
was sentenced to 11
years in prison at a hearing on Tuesday morning
in Meigs County Common Pleas Court.
As each charge
stemmed from the same

act — a March 19, 2016,
stabbing at a residence
on Lasher Road outside
of Rutland — the two
felonious assault charges
merged with the attempted murder charge for
purposes of sentencing.
Morgan faced a maximum prison sentence of
11 years.
Morgan, at the advice
of Attorney Doug Francis, did not address the
court during the hearing.
Francis told the court
Morgan wished the incident had not happened.
Prosecutor James K.
Stanley asked the court

to sentence Morgan to
the maximum possible of
11 years in prison given
the serious nature of the
offenses, the permanent
injuries to the victim and
the clear intent to kill the
victim.
As is customary in
cases where a victim
is involved, the Meigs
County Victim Assistance Program presented
the judge with the victim
impact statement.
Francis argued that the
statement, which was
not part of the discovery
in the case, was a Brady
violation as it provided

the victim’s version of
events in the case. As
it was, the defense was
unaware of the victim’s
version of events, said
Francis.
Stanley stated that the
victim impact statement
is not part of discovery
as it is not provided to
the prosecutor until the
sentencing hearing when
it is given to the court.
Victim impact statements
are not public record and
are sealed in the case ﬁle
by the court.
Judge I. Carson Crow
overruled the argument
by Francis, stating that

the version of events in
the statement was not
that different from what
the victim testiﬁed to
during the trial.
Francis asked the
court to place Morgan
on ﬁve years of community control with an 11
year underlying prison
sentence. He stated that
while there was serious
physical harm caused
to the victim, the other
factors which would
go toward imposing
a maximum sentence
were not present in this
case. He also argued that
recidivism is unlikely as

the defendant and victim
have not been in contact
in the two years since the
incident, that Morgan
has no prior criminal
record, and that he
shows genuine remorse.
“He never wanted this
to happen,” said Francis,
calling the stabbing a terrible event which Morgan wishes would not
have occurred.
Stanley countered
that the victim did not
seem remorseful during
the testimony until the
end when he claimed
the stabbing was an

Rutland planning
community event
at civic center
By Erin Perkins
eperkins@aimmediamidwest.com

RUTLAND — The Rutland Council recently
met for its regularly scheduled meeting, discussing
a community-wide yard sale/craft sale to be held
the ﬁrst weekend of June.
The event will be held on Friday, June 1 and
Saturday, June 2 at the Rutland Civic Center and
at the park. Mayor Mike Biggs named Council
Member Kimberly Willford and Fiscal Ofﬁcer Kim
Dodd as chairs of the event. Dodd will be putting
together a vendor agreement, vendors will be
setting up in the civic center at $25 for a slot. At
the park, patrons will be able to either set up for
$10 outside at a slot, or $25 for inside the shelter
house at a slot. The council discussed having four
slots available in the shelter house. The council
agreed to publicize for the Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2 yard sale/craft sale.
Volunteers from the Lutheran Social Services
Mobile Pantry approached the council asking if
they could utilize the civic center for their pantry.
David Mitchell explained to council they would
like to have a central location for their pantry as
their location in Middleport will be unavailable to
them and they will not have another location available to them until late October. Mitchell explained
approximately 160-190 clients are fed via their
pantry. Biggs told Mitchell and Margaret Edwards
to provide him with an agreement he can review
and run by the council to approve. Mitchell said
they would like to have their pantry available to
their clients at the civic center by Tuesday, April
10.
Also, Edwards was interested in putting a blessing box near the sidewalk by the civic center, so
members of the community may donate to those
in need at anytime. Biggs approved the blessing
box.
Council Member Duane Weber discussed the
ﬁrst draft of a letter he wrote regarding sponsorship for the village from members of the community. Weber will be making adjustments to the
letter, so it can be ﬁnalized and sent out to the
community as soon as possible.

Officer disciplined after
teen’s police car suicide
AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A police ofﬁcer has
been disciplined in connection with a 17-yearold who fatally shot himself in the back seat of a
police cruiser in Ohio.
According to a disciplinary letter, Ofﬁcer Devin Ray failed to
thoroughly search Xavier McMullen before putting him in the back
of a patrol car Aug. 25. Ray has
been docked three days pay for
violating the department’s transportation and prisoner control
procedure.
Akron police say McMullen and two 18-yearold men were arrested as suspects in an armed
robbery. The suspects were placed in separate
cruisers.
A gunshot rang out as ofﬁcers continued to
investigate the robbery, and police returned to
ﬁnd McMullen dead with a gun lying next to his
body.
The Summit County Medical Examiner ruled
his death a suicide.

$1.27 million settlement
proposed in State Fair death
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A proposed $1.27
million settlement has been announced with the
family of an 18-year-old killed in an accident last
year at the Ohio State Fair.
Court documents show the parents of Tyler
Jarrell would receive $870,000, and the rest will
go toward attorney fees and funeral costs.
Jarrell died and seven others were injured
when the Fire Ball ride broke apart at the fair
July 26. Dutch manufacturer KMG previously
said the cause was excessive corrosion of a support beam.
An attorney for Jarrell’s estate says the proposal is only a partial settlement with the ride’s
owner and two companies that inspected the
ride. The family is continuing their case against
KMG and other defendants.
The settlement requires a judge’s approval. A
court hearing is scheduled for April 18.

What Amazon &amp; Co.
should fix first in our
health care system
It’s been two months since Amazon, Berkshire
Hathaway and J.P. Morgan Chase announced a
triple-threat partnership to improve health care for
their collective 1.2 million employees, and ultimately a better program
David
for all Americans.
Whelan
So far we have heard nothing from
Contributing
the
companies, except a ﬂurry of
columnist
outside opinions about Prime Health
and coughing into Alexa to diagnose
the ﬂu. Fortune conﬁdes that the Seattle company’s real plan is to control and data mine “your
individual biology.”
The theory I’ve heard that stands up best is
this: They’re coming after the middleman. These
extractionary players are chockablock in the
health care industry, which Warren Buffett calls
the “tapeworm of the U.S. economy.” Insurance
companies take 20 cents of every health dollar off
the top, but there’s friction in all spending categories. For every dollar spent on drugs, 41 cents gets
taken by middlemen, such as the pharmacy or the
formulary manager.
Amazon has run over the middleman in any
number of categories: books, music, videos, groceries, IT services, lawn furniture. Amazon goes
to the lowest price, eliminates multiple retail
and wholesale markups and bears a much lower
proﬁt margin to take share away from its rivals.
Amazon’s frugality and high-tech investments in
logistics create what analysts call a ﬂywheel of
ever-declining prices and delivery times. Apply
the ﬂywheel concept to your fantasy version of the
world’s biggest pharmacy, and you get some idea
of what it might achieve.
The big insurers and other health care companies will hardly roll over. Instead, they have been
getting bigger and more powerful. In 2017 health
services companies completed $175 billion worth
of mergers, two and a half times that of 2016.
That included CVS buying Aetna for $69 billion
and UnitedHealth spending $5 billion to buy 300
medical clinics. In January Cigna announced it
was purchasing the pharmacy beneﬁts manager
Express Scripts for $52 billion.
These deals embrace a different vision of the
future. Instead of cheaper and faster, we get a
“one-stop shop.” Soon you will get your insurance
through Aetna, see a nurse at the CVS MinuteClinic, and get your prescription ﬁlled at the nearby pharmacy counter. This sort of system exists
in the forms of Kaiser Permanente in California
or the U.K.’sNational Health System, where insurance and care are under one umbrella.
If these megamergers can squeeze some costs
and efﬁciencies out of the combined ﬁrms, that’s
great. But I doubt the savings will get passed
along to patients and consumers. Besides, health
care is already too big, complex and opaque. We
don’t need bigger, we need smarter — and we
need companies to put consumers ﬁrst.
Amazon’s CEO and founder famously keeps
an empty chair at board meetings to represent the customer’s perspective. Berkshire
Hathaway’sGeico insurance division, which has no
agents or physical infrastructure, gets four stars
for its customer service from J.D. Power, while the
proponents of the megamergers, the most prominent health insurers, get two or three stars.
Amazon’s initial signiﬁcant opportunity may
be to ship drugs and supplies quickly and cut out
CVS and Walgreens the same way its original
book business destroyed Borders and Barnes &amp;
Noble. (One clue: It has applied for pharmacy
licenses in a dozen states.)
We may even be better off without insurance for
drugs and doctor visits that are affordable out of
pocket. (Nobody uses their Geico car insurance
to get their oil changed.) A recent study in JAMA
found that about a quarter of the time, what you
pay at the pharmacy using your insurance card can
cost more in copays than it would with no insurance if you just paid cash. Insurance might force
you to pay $25 for a drug that would be $11 if you
had no drug beneﬁt. In many cases, the pharmacist is contractually forbidden from telling insured
customers the cash price for a drug. This is the
one-stop-shop that many fear.
The next plausible big bet would be telemedicine. Amazon already streams video into millions
of homes and is a world leader in cloud computing. The 1.2 million employees, plus their families,
of the Berkshire-Amazon-Chase triad, could be the
test customers of Amazon’s cloud computing infrastructure to reach doctors and nurses quickly for
advice, outside the boundaries of insurance.
It will be difﬁcult for Amazon &amp; Co. to build
this fantasy health world. Many tech titans before
have tried and failed. Remember Microsoft
HealthVault? Or Netscape founder Jim Clark’s
Healtheon? Google’sEric Schmidt told an audience
last month that hospitals and doctors’ ofﬁces are
still in the stone age, with their fax machines and
pagers. But Google Health is not exactly a roaring
consumer success.
At some point, Amazon and its partners will
need to contend with the entrenched and now
supersized companies that currently direct the
ﬂow of so many health dollars. Doing an end-run

THEIR VIEW

Death in Tempe and promise of self-driving cars
This editorial written
by the Chicago Tribune
Editorial Board, Chicago
Tribune:
Innovation isn’t an easy
road. Every improving
technology occasionally
lets us down, sometimes
with deadly consequences. Look to Uber’s travail
in Tempe, Ariz., as the
latest example.
Maybe you’ve seen
the video from an Uber
self-driving SUV of that
tragic moment: Elaine
Herzberg, 49, is walking
her bicycle across multiple lanes of roadway,
moving from left to right.
Cruising at about 40
mph in the far right lane,
the Uber vehicle slams
into Herzberg, killing
her. A separate camera
view shows the vehicle’s
human safety driver,
there to take control in
an emergency, with eyes
off the road and looking
down before the crash.
After impact, the safety
driver looks up, stunned.
In assessing what went
wrong, there’s a lot to
unpack. The growing
consensus is that the
self-driving car’s technology, as designed, should
have detected Herzberg
in enough time to brake.

That technology includes
laser sensors, radar, and
front, side and rear cameras — a combination
engineered to see better
than humans can, and
react faster.
The collision happened
at night, but a self-driving
car’s robot eyes work best
at night. Bad weather can
interfere with the car’s
vision, but the weather
was clear. Then there’s
the inattentive safety
driver, put behind the
wheel to intervene in
such situations, who happens to have a history of
trafﬁc violations.
Herzberg’s death marks
the ﬁrst time a pedestrian
has been killed by a selfdriving car. Uber, which
has been testing self-driving cars in several American cities, has stopped
doing so while the Tempe
investigation continues.
This week, Arizona Gov.
Doug Ducey added to
Uber’s woes by suspending its driverless testing
program in his state,
calling the March 18 incident “an unquestionable
failure” to safely test selfdriving cars.
Some critics want
to go further. A group
called Consumer Watch-

dog wants a national
moratorium applied
to all driverless car
enterprises — those of
Waymo, Lyft, Ford and
others that conduct tests
on U.S. roadways — until
experts ﬁgure out how to
ﬁx what went wrong in
Arizona. The recoiling is
understandable, but it’s
shortsighted.
We offer condolences
to the victim here, and
to her family. But in this
as in other avenues of
progress, technology
often fails before it can
succeed. Failures inform.
They tell engineers, scientists and innovators what
needs to be reworked.
And in the ﬂedgling arena
of autonomous car technology, on-the-road, realworld testing is the only
way these cars can reach
a point where they’re
safer than having humans
behind the wheel.
The human-driven
auto, as its use expanded
in the early 20th century, had a poor safety
record that has markedly
improved: In 1921, car
use resulted in 24 deaths
for every 100 million
miles traveled, according
to the National Highway
Trafﬁc Safety Administra-

tion. Today that measure
is roughly one death for
every 100 million miles.
It behooves Uber and
other companies competing to perfect self-driving
vehicles to learn from this
death in Tempe. The New
York Times reports that
Uber has struggled to
meet its goal of self-driving cars going a relatively
scant 13 miles without
the safety driver having
to take control. Compare
that to Waymo’s average
of 5,600 miles before
driver intervention, or
GM-owned Cruise’s 1,200
miles before the driver
has to intervene.
Driverless cars have
remarkable potential to
make streets and highways safer than they’ve
ever been. They’ll take
out of the equation the
barroom drunk who
insists on driving home,
the reckless speeder
who weaves in and out
of lanes slalom-style, the
distracted driver checking a text while merging
onto the Kennedy. But
those who would use the
death in Tempe to slam
the brakes on the development of these vehicles
risk keeping all of us from
that smarter, safer future.

Eagles blast
Belpre, 13-4;
improve to 3-0
By Alex Hawley
ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com

BELPRE, Ohio — Three up, three down.
The Eastern baseball team improved to 3-0 on
the young season, as the Eagles thumped Belpre
by a 13-4 count in Tri-Valley Conference Hocking
Division play on Monday in Washington County.
Eastern (3-0, 1-0 TVC Hocking) got on the
board in the top of the ﬁrst inning, as Austin Coleman singled with two outs and then score on an
error. The visiting Eagles added another marker
in the second frame, when Matthew Blanchard
singled home Nate Durst.
Eastern was held scoreless in the third, but
more than made up it in the fourth, scoring four
runs on three hits, two walks an one error. The
fourth inning was highlighted by a three-run double by Ethen Richmond, who later scored to put
EHS ahead 6-0.
The EHS lead grew to 7-0 when Durst scored in
the ﬁfth inning, after drawing a base on balls with
one out in the frame.
The Eagles went ahead 11-0 in the top of the
sixth inning, as two hits and two errors led to four
runs.
With its back against the wall, Belpre (0-2, 0-1)
avoided the mercy rule by pushing a couple of
runs across on a Logan Adams double in the bottom of the sixth, making the score 11-2.
Eastern got both runs back in the top of the seventh, as Coleman was singled home by Richmond,
who was later driven in by Durst.
Belpre scored twice in the bottom of the seventh, but fell by a 13-4 ﬁnal tally.
Coleman was the winning pitcher of record in
three shut out innings of work, allowing three hits,
walking two batters and striking out six. Richmond ﬁnished the game on the hill for EHS, surrendering four runs, two earned, on four hits and
six walks, while striking out two.
Bailey Sprague suffered the setback for Belpre,
allowing two runs, three hits and a walk, while
striking out three batters in three innings of work.
At the plate, Eastern was led by Blanchard, who
was 3-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a run
batted in. Richmond ﬁnished with two hits in four
tries, with a double, two runs and four RBIs, while
Coleman had two hits in three chances and scored
three times.
Kaleb Hill, Owen Arix, Josh Brewer and Ryan
Harbour had a hit apiece in the contest, with Arix
