A Franklin County judge confirmed that he’s mandating COVID-19 vaccinations as conditions of probation in his courtroom.
Common Pleas Judge Richard Frye said last week he added the vaccine as a condition on three cases in the week of the roughly 20 sentences he imposed.
He said he discussed the matter in open court with the defendants, and they attributed their unvaccinated status to procrastination. None raised any philosophical, medical or religious objection.
“It occurred to me that at least some of these folks need to be encouraged not to procrastinate,” Frye said in an interview. “I think it’s a reasonable condition when we’re telling people to get employed and be out in the community.”
He declined to “speculate” what would happen if a defendant raised a medical, religious or philosophical exemption to vaccination, but said this is a different situation entirely than people who have simply put the matter off.
Now, some offenders affected are speaking out to say it’s not right.
“The whole atmosphere of the courtroom changed,” said criminal offender Sylvaun Latham who was sentenced for a gun and drug charge last week before Common Pleas Court Judge Richard Frye. “Everyone had this look on their face. I broke character and asked (my attorney), ‘Can he do this?’”
Out of 20 sentencings Judge Frye conducted last week, three included requirements to get the vaccination within 30 days and provide proof to the probation department.
“He said something about a new delta strain out attacking, like, black people,” Latham told the reporter.

How is this judge allowed to lie to people? Why is that and when will he be punished for lying and coercion?
OHIO
So the Judge is also a medical professional? Doesn’t he know if you qant to protect yourself then YOU get the vaccine without forcing others to do so against their will. I wonder if you tell the judge you’ve denied the vaccine on grounds that you recovered from Covid would be acceptable? Because that is the science you know...
Seems to me that the new virus strain affecting these folks might be more of a judicial nature than a medical nature. This would seem to be a little out of his jurisdiction to be doing things this way. Whether or not one gets the shots is a personal decision.

This judge is dangerous. He’s no different than nazi doctors who did forced medical experiments on prisoners.
It’s not Delta. It was Indian.
Never mind that the vaccines don’t protect anyone from ANY virus!!! and that they are INEFFECTIVE against the delta variant!
Just tell them that they can’t have it...and, wait for them to steal it.
Ya watch out you may catch something that is like Hay Fever or the Common Cold , D’oh
No, he can’t do this.
