The daughter of a man slain by a University of Cincinnati police officer has been appointed overseer of her father’s estate on her own behalf and that of her 10 siblings. She was challenged for the appointment by her grandmother and grandfather although the grandmother withdrew her application before the hearing. The judge found the daughter to be capable of managing the estate which follows Ohio law which favors children for estate management for single adults. As a result, negotiations with the university over the killing, which prompted enormous national media coverage, can begin and is expected to result in a huge settlement. For additional coverage, check out my colleague’s Jay Brinker’s blog post here for some great insights into the case.
