FLICK, Dawn (see the article below)  Death Row sentence not enough for mom
By Kimball Perry, Post staff reporter
Linda Flick unleashed 11 months of pain and rage on the man sentenced today to Death Row for murdering her daughter. She blames him as well for her husband's suicide the day after their daughter's death. ''You coward. Why didn't you kill yourself? You are the lowest form of life. You are a murderer, a rapist and a controlling piece of garbage,'' Ms. Flick told Patrick Leonard today.
Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Mark Schweikert followed a jury's recommendation and sentenced Leonard, 31, to death.  Leonard was convicted in May of the aggravated murder of Dawn Flick as well as attempted rape, kidnapping and two counts of felonious assault for shooting at the two men who tried to rescue Miss Flick.  He executed the 23-year-old woman by shooting her in the head three times July 29, ending her vain attempt to assert her independence from the man she dated for nine years, then stood by even after he fathered two children with another woman.  The next day her distraught father, Les Flick, owner of the popular Home Like Inn restaurant in New Baltimore killed himself.  ''You not only took my Dawn's life (but) you should also be accused of murdering my husband. ... Your actions killed him,'' Linda Flick said in an angry but wavering voice.  ''Les and I always regretted letting Dawn spend time with you. We despised you, you coward, leading your double lives.''  As she spoke, members of Leonard's family wept.  ''She never loved you,'' the mother continued. ''She pitied you. She was even dating other people. She could have done so much better. You wouldn't let her.''  Leonard sat stone-faced, moving only to examine the fingernails on his right hand, as she spoke. ''They could have just handed you over to me. I would have sentenced you months ago,'' the mother added.  ''I hate you, you coward, and I hope the prisoners give you an exceptionally warm welcome.  ''...You are going to burn in hell and my Dawn and my Les are with our Lord.''  Leonard asked for the judge to spare his life, hoping others in prison could learn from the mistakes he made.  ''I can't change what happened,'' he said, adding that he hopes both his family and the Flick family ''find some peace'' with the court case over.  Schweikert ordered Leonard to be executed Oct. 26 but the appeals process standard in death penalty cases will delay that for years.
The last Ohio execution was June 14 when Jay D. Scott became the first Ohio inmate to be executed against his will since 1963.  Ohio executed Wilford Berry, ''The Volunteer,'' in 1999 after Berry waived his appeals and asked to be put to death.  Schweikert also sentenced Leonard to 40 years in prison for the other crimes.  Publication date: 06-28-01

The Cincinnati Enquirer
CROSBY TOWNSHIP — The 22-year-old daughter of a well-known restaurant owner was found shot to death here early Saturday morning.  Dawn R. Flick's former boyfriend, Patrick L. Leonard, was charged with aggravated murder in her death. He also is charged with attempted murder of Ryan Gries, who was wounded in the attack on Ms. Flick.  Mr. Leonard, 30, allegedly shot both Ms. Flick, whose parents own Les Flick's Homelike Inn, and Mr. Gries. The 3 a.m. shooting happened at Ms. Flick's home in the 6900 block of River Road in Crosby Township. Mr. Leonard lives about six houses down the street.  According to a 911 tape at the Hamilton County communications center, Ms. Flick called Mr. Gries, 25, and another friend for help. The caller, who was not identified by police, said Mr. Leonard had come to Ms. Flick's house and had struck her. The caller said that when he arrived, Mr. Leonard shot through the front door with a .22-caliber rifle.  Mr. Gries, of Miamitown, was shot in the side. He was treated and released from University Hospital on Saturday. Ms. Flick was found in her home. Campbell County police said Mr. Leonard surrendered at the Highland Heights station. He is being held in the Campbell County Detention Center for a Monday morning arraignment.          Neighbors were dismayed. At Sam's Corners, a convenience store next to Ms. Flick's house, Sam Duncan recalled that Ms. Flick had stopped in Friday afternoon for milk.  “They (Ms. Flick and Mr. Leonard) were both good people,” he said. “This is one that's going to take some time to figure out.”

Police say suspect confessed to killing --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Police say a New Baltimore man told police in July that anger and exhaustion drove him to kill his former girlfriend, Dawn Flick, a member of the family that owned Flick's Home Like Inn restaurant.
Patrick Leonard, 30, made the taped statement to police hours after he was arrested on charges of fatally shooting Ms. Flick, 22.  The statement was discussed Monday during a pretrial hearing before Judge Mark Schweikert in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. Ms. Flick was found dead at her New Baltimore home July 29. Her father, Les Flick, killed himself the next day at Flick's Home Like Inn. If Mr. Leonard is convicted of aggravated murder, he could face a death sentence.




FLICK, Les; Les and Dawn Flick, ran restaurant  (Published Aug 2, 2000 in Cinti. Enq.)
Funeral arrangements have been made for Dawn Flick and her father, Les Flick.  Ms. Flick, 22, of New Baltimore was shot in her home Saturday. Her ex-boyfriend, Patrick L. Leonard, 30, was arrested and charged with aggravated murder. Ms. Flick's father, Les Flick of New Baltimore, shot himself to death Sunday after learning his daughter had died, police said. He was 67. The two worked together at Mr. Flick's Home Like Inn restaurant in New Baltimore. Mr. Flick was the owner, and Ms. Flick was a manager.  They leave their wife and mother, Linda Flick of New Baltimore; and daughters (and sisters) Kelly Fenech of New Baltimore, Leslie (Shell) Flick of Grants Pass, Ore., and Kimberley Avakian of Santa Barbara, Calif.  Visitation for both will be 10 to 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Aloysius Church, 3350 Chapel Road, Shandon, Ohio. Mass will be at 11 a.m. Thursday at the church. Gravesite services will be at 12:30 p.m. Thursday at the Miamitown Cemetery in Miamitown. Memorials for Les Flick should be directed to the American Cancer Society and for Dawn Flick to an art scholarship fund at William Harrison High School. The Charles C. Young Funeral Home, Ross, is handling arrangements.

Tragic Deaths in New Baltimore (OH);  Pat Leonard Guilty of Aggravated Murder  (Ft. Scott Camp Bugle)
Although I usually avoid controversial topics (e.g., Father Cooley) on the website, the scope of recent events merits coverage because two great families associated with Fort Scott, the Flicks and the Leonards, have been devastated by recent events. Although a complete understanding of events is far from known, both of these families need our thoughts, support, and prayers.
During the early morning of Saturday, July 29, 2000, Dawn Flick, 23, of New Baltimore, was fatally shot three times in the head in her Crosby Township home. She was the daughter of Les Flick, owner of Les Flick's Homelike Inn, a New Baltimore institution and long-time Fort Scott gathering place.
Pat Leonard, also of New Baltimore, was arrested and charged with aggravated murder in the case. Leonard, 30 at the time of Flick's death, was also accused of the attempted murder of Ryan Gries, 25, of Miamitown, a friend of Ms. Flick who reportedly responded to the scene after receiving a phone call for assistance from her. Gries reportedly received a gunshot wound at Flick's house in his back. Gries was treated and released from University Hospital.
Leonard surrendered himself at the Highland Heights police station in Campbell County, KY later that Saturday. According to various accounts, Leonard and Ms. Flick had been romantically involved for several years. In an audiotaped interview with Hamilton County sheriff's investigators later that day, Leonard acknowledged that he shot Flick in her home. On Sunday morning, July 30, 2000, Les Flick, 67, was found with a gunshot wound to the head inside his New Baltimore restaurant. According to reports, the wound was self-inflicted. He was rushed to University Hospital, where he later died from the wounds. Les was reported to be very distraught in the wake of his daughter's slaying. Les is survived by his wife, Linda, and their daughters, Kelly Fenech, Leslie (Shell) Flick, and Kimberley Avakian. Memorials for Les Flick should be directed to the American Cancer Society and for Dawn Flick to an art scholarship fund at William Harrison High School.  On Monday, August 7, 2000, Leonard was indicted by a Hamilton County (Ohio) grand jury on charges of aggravated murder, attempted murder, rape, and kidnapping associated in the death of Dawn Flick.   On Thursday, May 24, 2001, Leonard was found guilty by a Hamilton County jury of two counts of aggravated murder, kidnapping, felonious assault, and attempted rape. One week later on Thursday, May 31, the same jury recommended that Leonard be put to death for his crimes.  On June 28, 2001, Judge Mark Schweikert accepted the jury's recommendation, giving Leonard a death sentence plus 40 years.
