State of Ohio v. Kristofer D. Garrett, Case No. 2019-1381
Franklin County Common Pleas Court

In January 2018, Kristofer Garrett went to the Columbus home of his ex-girlfriend and their 4-year-old daughter, and stabbed and killed them. Garrett was sentenced to death for his child's murder and to life in prison without parole in the murder of his ex-girlfriend, Nicole Duckson. Because the death penalty was imposed, Garrett has the right to an appeal heard by the Supreme Court of Ohio.
