Wagner filed the motion in the Pike County Court of Common Pleas September 18th, Judge Jonathan Hein has rejected that request, stating that attorney Mark Collins has “exemplary criminal defense skills” and has appeared for hearings with the “expected preparation.” Hein also said bringing in a new attorney would result in further trial delays.

More Shawnee State University Medical Laboratory Technology students are getting hands-on training earlier in their program thanks to funding from the SSU Foundation and a partnership with King’s Daughters Medical Center Ohio. A Diatron Pictus 500, purchased new through Foundation funding, and an ACL Top 300, donated by KDMC Ohio, have been installed in the MLT student lab. The instruments give students the chance to perform troubleshooting, maintenance, and quality control on automated chemistry and coagulation analyzers long before their clinical rotation. Before this addition, students did not get hands-on time with automated equipment until their fifth semester, once they were already in the clinical setting.
