State of Ohio v. Gerry L. Moore Sr. aka Gary L. Moore Sr., Case No. 2017-0483
Sixth District Court of Appeals (Erie County)

ISSUES:
- Does R.C. 2929.14(B)(1)(b), which prohibits the reduction of mandatory prison terms imposed for a firearm specification, violate equal protection rights under the U.S. and Ohio constitutions?
- Did the appellate court err when it decided the statute violated constitutional guarantees of equal protection when the parties didn't challenge the statute's constitutionality and didn't brief the issue on appeal?
