OPINION JUST IN!!!! AUGUST 2, 2006Donna Roberts conviction still stands, BUT...in a unanimous decision by the Ohio Supreme Court, she will be resentenced. The STATE of OHIO, APPELLEE, v. ROBERTS, APPELLANT. [Cite as State v. Roberts, 110 Ohio St.3d 71, 2006-Ohio-3665.] Criminal law — Aggravated murder — Convictions affirmed — Court’s ex parte communication with prosecutor invalidates sentencing opinion — Death penalty vacated and resentencing ordered. (No. 2003-1441 — Submitted January 24, 2006 — Decided August 2, 2006.) APPEAL from the Court of Common Pleas for Trumbull County, No. 01-CR-793. _______________ Roberts now appeals, raising an array of challenges to her conviction and sentence. Although we reject all of Roberts’s attacks on her conviction, because of the trial judge’s ex parte use of the prosecutor in directly preparing the court’s sentencing opinion, we must vacate the sentence and remand the case to the trial court for resentencing.

Guess she will get LWOP??
I know her partner has already been executed.
Guess Ohio doesnt want to go down that road just yet with women.
