Did Trial Court Properly Assess Factors When Denying Request To Seal Criminal Records?
State of Ohio and City of Cincinnati v. J.B., Case No. 2024-0951
First District Court of Appeals (Hamilton County)
ISSUES:
- For an application to seal or expunge a criminal record, does the extent of the applicant's criminal history speak to the issue of rehabilitation and provide a sole basis for denying the request?
- Can a trial court on its own consider the legitimate government interests in maintaining the record of a conviction?
