Abstract

This is the State of Ohio’s request that the court exclude exhibits and testimony that relates to the prior acquittal or conviction of Sam Sheppard. The state theorizes that references to this testimony denigrate the nature of the trial because the jury should give the evidence a fresh look and make its own independent examination.

See order ruling on this motion.
