State of Ohio v. Juba Ali, Case No. 2022-0099
Ninth District Court of Appeals (Summit County)

ISSUES:
- Did a man accused of kidnapping and raping a 16-year-old relative receive a fair trial when the trial judge admitted evidence of his prior convictions related to accosting young women?
- Did the appeals court apply the wrong standard for determining whether the wrongful admission of the "other acts evidence" was a harmless error that didn't impact the outcome of the trial?
