Docket No.	Op. Below	Argument	Opinion	Vote	Author	Term
19-230	Ohio	N/A	N/A	N/A	N/A	OT 2019

Issue: Whether, when there is newly discovered evidence making it more likely than not that, in a new trial, the defendant would be acquitted, it violates the 14th Amendment"s due process clause to deny a new trial based on Ohio"s uniquely elevated burden of proof in which criminal defendants with newly discovered evidence are granted a new trial only if they provide clear and convincing evidence that, in a new trial, they would be acquitted.
