As a continuing education on my part, I read 2nd District Appeals decisions (of which Clark Co. is part) every Friday. Having said that, I see more jacked up court rulings from that County than any of the others in the 2nd. While this story has some issues, nothing in CC would surprise me.

I've been reading Ohio appellate cases for about 30 years. The Ohio Second District Court of Appeals is really pretty easy to explain. They're the black-robed legislature.

I should have been more clear in my statement. What I was eluding to (I shouldn't post in a hurry) is some of the CC Common Pleas Judges' decisions which the 2D reviews and then reverses/remands. It's the lower court's decisions that sometimes make me shake my head and go "WTH?"
Of course, sometimes I say the same thing about some of the 2D's decisions.

no, that law was changed
Common sense hasn't.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't all that common.

Update: I helped my buddy out and we got him a good Lawyer, The felony charge was dropped and the Judge said that she was going to a talk with the Chief, the cop and the sheriff. He still has another court date for the misdemeanor mishandling a firearm(will probably get dropped as well). This has still cost him a bunch of money. I guess mission accomplished for that D*%Khead LEO.
