Did Judge Improperly Refuse to Allow Jury to Consider Self-Defense Claim?
State of Ohio v. Phillip A. Palmer, Case No. 2022-0987
Twelfth District Court of Appeals (Clermont County)
ISSUES:
- Does a revision to the state law on claiming self-defense lower the amount of evidence a defendant needs to have a jury consider the claim?
- Does a trial judge usurp the role of a jury by weighing the evidence presented in a claim of self-defense and deciding that a jury can't consider the claim?
