OH Victims Rights Law Challenged

The Ohio Supreme Court is considering a case that will define some of the parameters and limits of a crime victims’ rights law that amended the state’s Constitution in 2017. A man convicted of rape and kidnapping charges appealed his conviction to the state’s highest court, which heard arguments on Wednesday on whether Marsy’s Law allows a victim to sit at the prosecutor’s table during a trial. An attorney for Theodis Montgomery argued that his conviction should be overturned and he should be given a new trial.
