Marsy’s Law gives crime victims the right to appeal decisions denying restitution , but does not give victims the right to file delayed appeals, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled Wednesday.
The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled police officers can be considered victims, and thus not subject to public disclosure, under Ohio’s Marsy’s Law privacy protections.
Since 2017, a law to spotlight victim’s rights has been in effect in Ohio, but a new law that helps guide courts, attorneys and victim’s advocates on the rights took effect just this month.
