State of Ohio v. Christopher Willingham, Case nos. 2019-0659 and 2019-0900
Eighth District Court of Appeals (Cuyahoga County)
ISSUES:
- In a sexual assault case where the defendant has alleged prejudice by pre-indictment delay, must the defendant prove that any lost evidence related to the issue of consent be substantial and not speculative?
- Does an appeals court lose jurisdiction of a case if it votes to reconsider its opinion after a party appealed the initial opinion to the Ohio Supreme Court?
