State of Ohio v. Malcolm Walker, Case No. 2021-1421
Sixth District Court of Appeals (Lucas County)
ISSUES:
- Does the rule that a defendant must be acquitted if the prosecutor fails to supply sufficient evidence apply to a claim of self-defense?
- If a trial court finds sufficient evidence to convict a defendant who raised a claim of self-defense, must an appeals court conduct a sufficiency review before affirming a trial court's decision?
