| Darryl Jackson, an inmate at Richland Correctional Institute, pleaded guilty this morning to manslaughter and felonious assault in the Sept. 20, 2003, stabbing death of Garland "Pookie'' Marshall. Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh said in a release this morning that Jackson, 31, is scheduled to be sentenced at 1 p.m. in Judge Judith Hunter's courtroom in Summit County Common Pleas Court. Marshall, 33, was found dead at his home by police responding to a call. Marshall had been stabbed more than 30 times. A breakthrough in the case came in September 2006 when the FBI Laboratory's Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) matched Jackson to DNA recovered on the linoleum floor of Marshall's residence. Jackson was in prison on an unrelated charge.

Class action or a representative action is a form of lawsuit in which a large group of people collectively bring a claim to court and/or in which a class of defendants is being sued. This form of collective lawsuit originated in the United States and is still predominantly a U.S. phenomenon, at least the U.S. variant of it. In the United States federal courts, class actions are governed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule. Since 1938, many states have adopted rules similar to the FRCP. However, some states like California have civil procedure systems which deviate significantly from the federal rules; the California Codes provide for four separate types of class actions. As a result, there are two separate treatises devoted solely to the complex topic of California class actions. Some states, such as Virginia, do not provide for any class actions, while others, such as New York, limit the types of claims that may be brought as class actions.
