Ohio Supreme Court heard arguments over a 1977 reversal that ordered a new trial for James Ruppert who killed 11 relatives. Defense urged insanity and argued proper jury unanimity rules were misapplied, while prosecutors said the waiver issue invited error. A ruling was expected in six to eight weeks.
