Newark man found guilty of all charges in September stabbing
Newark Advocate
NEWARK - After just over an hour of deliberations, a jury found Harley Morgan guilty of all charges in connection to a stabbing in Newark last year.
Harley Morgan, 21, of Newark, was convicted of one count of attempted murder, a first-degree felony; three counts of felonious assault, all second-degree felonies; three counts of aggravated burglary, all first-degree felonies; and one count of menacing by stalking, a second-degree felony.
Morgan broke into 27-year-old Haley Rakaska s Newark home and stabbed her over 20 times with her four young children nearby. He also struck her with a T-ball bat her 7-year-old son had retrieved to protect his mother during the assault.
Prosecutor’s office cares about community safety

The Early Bird published a letter from Chief Mark Ater of the Union City Police Department. It surprised me a bit, as I had spoken to him earlier in the week on the phone. He had questions and complaints about the handling of the case of a young woman who had just been sentenced in the Common Pleas Court on Monday, March 1.
He was upset that the young woman had not been sentenced to prison by Judge Hein, and upset that I had not argued that she should have been sent away to prison. My assistant prosecutors and I certainly do not always agree with judge as to sentencing, and it is not unusual for us argue for harsher sentences than are ordered by the court. However, this is a bad example for Chief Ater to cite.
