An Ohio judge overseeing a murder case that The Plain Dealer of Cleveland has been covering is suing the paper for $50 million claiming the daily overstepped its bounds of privacy, according to Associated Press.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold, whose identity and that of her daughter were disclosed by The Plain Dealer as being behind anonymous comments posted on the paper's Web site, filed the suit Wednesday.

“The newspaper reported March 26 inflammatory anonymous comments posted on its Web site about murder suspect Anthony Sowell were traced to the judge's personal AOL e-mail account,” AP reports. “The judge denied posting the comments and said her daughter posted them. The Plain Dealer has declined to comment on the lawsuit.”
