Here are the top three stories today in Cleveland:

  1. A man wrongfully convicted of murder is celebrating seven years of freedom with a new East Side business venture. Laurese Glover was one of the East Cleveland 3, a group of three men sentenced to 20 years in prison for a 1995 murder they did not commit. Exactly seven years after leaving prison, Glover held the grand opening for his restaurant and bar Truth Seafood 7, located at 770 East 185th Street. The other members of the East Cleveland 3 were also in attendance for Saturday's grand opening. (Cleveland 19 News)
  2. On Saturday, high schools from all over the nation headed to Cleveland State University for the Buckeye Robotics Regionals. The energy was high inside the Wolstein Center, where teams of students brought their robots to compete for a spot in the Houston world championship. According to competition co-chair Peter Buca, "the robots that are created in this competition showcase [the students'] ingenuity, their ability to design and construct an engineering device." (News 5 Cleveland WEWS)
  3. The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) recently announced the installation of a new system designed to reduce wrong-way crashes in Cuyahoga County. ODOT plans to install a series of "wrong-way" signs, which will flash when activated, along a stretch of highway that includes portions of I-71 and I-90. The $1.8 million dollar project is planned to take place in 2023. (Spectrum News 1)
