State of Ohio v. Leelin Miller, Case No. 2022-0321
Eighth District Court of Appeals (Cuyahoga County)
ISSUES:
- Did an appeals court use the wrong standard to deny a hearing to determine if new evidence in the case of a man convicted of murder would affect the outcome of the original trial?
- Does the Ohio Constitution guarantee the right to a hearing or new trial based on a claim of actual innocence in light of new evidence that contradicts evidence presented at the original trial?
