- Ohio Supreme Court: Victim can’t file delayed appeal, despite initial legal confusion
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that a crime victim cannot file a delayed appeal for restitution, despite legal confusion caused by the implementation of Marsy’s Law, a constitutional amendment granting victims appeal rights. The case involved a Cuyahoga County woman seeking compensation after a 2017 break-in, but the court held that delayed appeals are not available to victims, even when legislative clarity was lacking.
