 | Grand jury will consider more charges against accused kidnapper next week Ariel Castro's attorneys still hope for a plea deal to avert the death penalty
The Cleveland man accused of holding three women captive for more than a decade may be facing additional charges.
At Ariel Castro’s first pre-trial hearing today, Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Timothy McGinty said more evidence is going to the grand jury, and more charges may be filed next week. Castro is already facing 329 charges of rape, kidnapping, felonious assault and aggravated murder.
The judge has set a tentative trial date of Aug. 4, though the defense can ask for an extension. Castro’s attorney, Craig Weintraub, still hopes to avoid a trial by having Castro plead guilty to some charges. And Weintraub says part of the deal is trying to persuade McGinty not to seek the death penalty against Castro for allegedly terminating one of the women’s pregnancies.

 | Ohio's governor pledges a continued push to expand Medicaid But GOP lawmakers say it won't happen soon
Ohio lawmakers continue to grapple with the question of whether to expand Medicaid. Gov. Kasich, business groups and Democrats want the state to expand the health-care program for poor people as part of the budget. But conservatives in the Legislature see that as buying into Obamacare and throwing good money into a flawed program. As Ohio Public Radio’s Jo Ingles reports, lawmakers are considering various bills to deal with the medical program for the poor in the future.

 | Ashland residents arrested in alleged slavery case Police say they held a woman and her child in their home to cook and clean
Three Ashland residents have been arrested, accused of holding a mentally disabled women and her child against their will for nearly two years. Federal prosecutors say the suspects have been charged with forced labor for making the woman cook and clean for them.
Prosecutors say the woman was threatened and beaten, and her and her child were forced to live in unsanitary conditions. Ashland Police Lt. Joel Eisenhower says the victim suffered a brain injury as a teenager, and now has the mental capacity of a 13-year old. He says the case broke last October when the woman shoplifted a candy bar so she could escape by being arrested. She then told the police about how she was being treated.

| Akron's website is ready for tax payments Other sections of hacked site arestill under repair
Parts of the city of Akron’s website are open for business after a hacking attack last month. The site is able to process payroll tax payments, which are due tomorrow (Saturday). But several parts of the site remain off-line during repair efforts. A Turkish group claimed responsibility for the hacking attack and leaked thousands of taxpayer records online. The FBI is investigating, as other cities -- including Lansing, Mich., and Mobile, Ala., -- were also hit. Akron has been in contact with several credit-reporting agencies to provide free or expedited assistance to anyone affected.

Bullying is a bigger problem in Northeast Ohio than in the nation as a whole. It happens more often and it's reported less frequently. Our region has also been rocked by the suicides of bullying victims who saw no other way out. In this series, Mean Kids, WKSU's Vivian Goodman takes a closer look at the bullies, their targets and their weapons, as well as the tools Northeast Ohio is using to fight the problem.

May 4th Remembered
On May 4th, 1970, Ohio National Guard troops opened fire on Kent State students protesting the invasion of Cambodia, the escalation of the Vietnam War - and the presence of the guard on campus.
Four students died; nine were wounded.
The scene became an icon for the Baby Boom generation. And this year, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, as a site that contributed significantly to the understanding of the nation's history and culture.
But for many, the history is not national. It's personal. And while it's fading out of many textbooks and memories, it's fresh in the lives of many others. WKSU is taking a look at the personal stories and larger lessons that grew from May 4, 1970.
