Ohio Supreme Court: Oral Arguments on SORNA Cases

11-3-2009 Ohio:

On Wednesday morning November 4th 9:00 AM, the Ohio Supreme Court will be hearing four cases that challenge the constitutionality of Senate Bill 10, Ohio's Adam Walsh Act, SORNA implementation.

Oral Arguments will begin at 9 a.m. EDT, and will stream live online. CLICK to take you to the Ohio Supreme Court website, then -on the left- look for the section that looks like the graphic above. Click on HOME.

There will be two adult cases and two juvenile cases. The adult case, Bodyke, addresses the bulk of the constitutional claims against the retroactive application of AWA. The juvenile cases address constitutional claims, but may ultimately be decided on a matter of statutory interpretation regarding juvenile courts’ discretion in the classification procedure.

More information on the cases can be found on the Office of the Ohio Public Defender's website:
