Jan. 30, 2014: Family and friends watch as Dewey Jones, left, speaks
to the media after a hearing before Summit County Common Pleas Court
Judge Mary Margaret Rowlands in Akron, Ohio.Michael Chritton/APAKRON, Ohio
Charges were dismissed Thursday against a northeast Ohio man who served
about 20 years in prison for a 1993 killing but maintained his
innocence.A judge ordered a new trial last year for Dewey Jones of
Akron after tests showed his DNA didn't match evidence at the scene.Prosecutors
filed to dismiss the charges, noting that witnesses have died and evidence
has degraded."We basically looked at the case as it stands today and
determined that we didn't think that we could, for the second time,
prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," said Jill Del Greco, a
spokeswoman for the Ohio attorney general's office.Jones told WEWS-TV he
felt overwhelmed and said he knew such a day would come."I just
never thought it would take this long," said Jones, 51. "The truth
is the truth, and it always comes out."Until late last year, Jones
was imprisoned for the robbery and slaying of 71-year-old Neal Rankin, a
Goodyear retiree who Jones said was a family friend. Jones said he
wasn't involved in the killing and had no knowledge about it."I sure
would like to know who I did 20 years for," he told
WEWS. "I wish I knew what the whole truth was."The judge hasn't
decided whether to dismiss the charges with or without prejudice, the latter

Zenko Hrynkiw was at Brookwood Medical Center Tuesday morning when he was
needed for emergency brain surgery miles away at Trinity Medical Center.The
problem was the sudden snowstorm had locked down traffic, and the neurosurgeon
didnt get farther than a few blocks by vehicle.The cell service was
bad so we were fading in and out, said Steve Davis, charge
nurse in the neuro intensive care unit at Trinity. At one point,
I heard him say, Im walking.Davis had alerted authorities, and they were
looking for him. There were supposed sightings, but no one could find
him.The police were looking for him, Davis said.Hours had gone by since
the initial contact in the morning.He finally called me and said, Wheres
the patient? Whats the status? Davis said. He spoke to the family
and went off to surgery.It was an emergency surgery for a traumatic
brain injury. Hrynkiw is Trinitys only brain surgeon, Davis said.Without
the surgery, the patient would have most likely died, Davis said. But
he is doing well.Davis said he and colleagues at Trinity were estimating
the hike to the Montclair Road hospital at about eight miles, although
Google Maps puts it at about six. The extreme weather Tuesday has
been blamed for five deaths statewide and it stranded untold thousands away
from their homes.This just speaks volumes to the dedic

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">with the tapering process because
they don't realize how dependent on the medication they may have become.Unfortunately,
relatively little is being done in this country to increase awareness of
benzo pitfallsand for now, too many women are learning the hard way.
Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supports more education
of health care professionals about benzo misuse, along with increased monitoring
of prescription drugs such as these, for the most part, painkillers get
more attention in the medical community.After contacting doctor after doctor,
last year Emily found a nurse-practitioner knowledgeable about benzo tapering
who helped her cross over to generic Valium. She's still going through
the process, with bouts of anxiety when she cuts a dose."But at
least now I know why," she said. "And I'm getting better." She
hopes to be off benzos altogether within the year.Now living with her
fianc, Kim is also working with a nurse-practitioner to taper off benzos.
She has reenrolled in school but at times still struggles to get
by."My body and my brain have to learn how to handle even
the most minor stresses on their own all over again, like driving
on busy roads," she said.So far, Jenna is the only one of
the women in these cases who has made it completely off benzos.
About a year after her trip to the ER, she married and
discovered that she was pregnant. She'd been trying to taper on her
own, but knowing that the drug
n Emily, who lives in Indiana. She
was prescribed generic Xanax at age 25, a few months after she'd
had a baby. She was filled with anxiety, often irrational."I worried that
someone would feed her something she might choke on," she recalled.When
the drug didn't help and she became desperate, she admitted herself to
a psychiatric ward; during the week she was there, relatives cared for
her little girl.Emily was taken off alprazolam and put on the generic
form of Klonopin, which is slower-acting. After being released, she followed
up with her doctor, who continued her on that drug, but Emily
didn't feel much better on it. Her anxiety attacks persisted."Every day
was a struggle," she said.After several months, she started looking for
other doctors to get her off the pills. One wanted her to
go cold turkey, but she'd been reading up online and knew the
dangers of benzo withdrawal."Once you've been on Xanax or similar drugs
for a month or more, you may need to taper off them
gradually," Birndorf explained.Tapering is a stepladder approach that involves
slowly decreasing your dose by tiny increments. It may also include switching
from a faster-acting benzo like Xanax to a slower one, such as
Klonopin, as the hospital had Emily do."If you've been on a high
dose for years, tapering from benzos can possibly take much longer than
with other drugs, like SSRIsmaybe even a full year," Birndorf said.Sometimes,
she points out, patients don't comply
