Holman Named "Prosecutor of the Year" by Fellow Prosecutors
Dean Holman, Medina County Prosecutor, has been selected “2011 Prosecutor of the Year,” by the Ohio Prosecuting Attorneys Association.
Holman was selected for the award by the OPAA’s Awards Committee, based on nomination. He was among the state’s 88 county prosecutors who were eligible for the award. He was notified by phone of his selection.
“It is gratifying to be recognized by my peers,” Holman said. “It is an honor to lead the Medina County Prosecutor’s Office. I am only as good as my staff. This award reflects well on their hard work and dedication.” He oversees 15 assistant prosecutors and 12 support staff, who work in the Criminal, Juvenile, Civil and Child Support divisions.
Although Holman is the County Prosecutor, he remains first and foremost a trial lawyer.
In 2011, he tried the Aggravated Murder case of Dennis Auerswald, secured a conviction and a sentence of 30 years to life. He also has handled other violent felonies, including Attempted Murder, Felonious Assault and Rape cases.
Other notable cases include the trials and convictions of Steven Bozsik, Aggravated Murder; Lynn Curtis, Rape; Steven Latham, Felonious Assault on Police Officers; Michael Drippon, Murder; and Shaun Cleland, Aggravated Murder.
Holman said his most interesting trial was the case of the State of Ohio vs. Alton Cromartie, in 2006. The defendant was charged with Felonious Assault, along with numerous other violent charges.
“Cromartie was one of the most dangerous, intelligent and diabolical defendants I have seen,” Holman said. The defendant was sentenced to 19 years in prison in November, 2006.
Holman was elected Medina County Prosecuting Attorney in 1988 and re-elected to that position again in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. Prosecutor Holman received his undergraduate and law degree from the University of Akron.
Holman was an assistant Medina County Prosecutor from 1981 to 1984, when he argued the case of the State of Ohio vs. Teresa Bickerstaff before the Ohio Supreme Court. He was the chief assistant prosecutor in Huron County from 1985 to 1986. He maintained a private law practice in Brunswick from 1985 to 1997.
He is a member and board member of the Brunswick Optimist Club, past member of the Brunswick Chamber of Commerce, past member of the Board of Directors of the Brunswick Salvation Army and of the Board of Directors of the Cleveland Baseball Foundation.
He is a member of the OPAA executive committee and also has served as president, secretary and treasurer of the organization.
Holman will be recognized and receive his award at OPAA’s annual dinner in Columbus December 1.

Jury Finds Woman Guilty of RSP of a License Plate
A jury in Judge Kimbler's court found Danielle E. Schmolz, formerly of Hemlock Court in Brunswick, guilty of Receiving Stolen Property on Tuesday, November 15, 2011. Ms. Schmolz was indicted after police found a stolen temporary tag on her vehicle. The tag on Ms. Schmolz's vehicle had expired about a week before the other tag went missing. The stolen tag was from a vehicle in the same Brunswick apartment complex and was on a vehicle that was the same make and model as Ms. Schmolz's vehicle, but a different model year. Under Ohio law receiving stolen property in the form of a license plate or temporary tag is a fifth degree felony.
Although Ms. Schmolz initially told the police that the tag was hers and that she had purchased it in Medina, she changed her statement when the officer pointed out that the tag didn't match her vehicle's vehicle identification number. She then told the police that she had heard people talking about taking the tag but she declined to give the police officer investigating the theft the name of the people.
The trial started on Monday afternoon and concluded on Tuesday afternoon. The jury deliberated about an hour before reaching its verdict. Following the verdict, Judge Kimbler continued Ms. Schmolz's bond and ordered a pre-sentence investigation. Sentence will be imposed on January 5, 2012.
