State of Ohio v. Juanita M. Troisi, Case no. 2008-2490

11th District Court of Appeals (Lake County)

ISSUE: Did the court of appeals err in permanently vacating a defendant's conviction for trademark counterfeiting, rather than ordering a new trial, based on the court's finding that expert witness testimony presented by the state did not establish an essential element of the charged offense?
