Appeals court halts ruling on Lorain diversion program legality
The Ohio 9th District Court of Appeals declines to rule on the legality of Lorain County General Division judges diversion program. Prosecutor Dennis Will petitions the Ohio Supreme Court to intervene, seeking to declare the program unconstitutional and argue it conflicts with state law. The dispute centers on who may run diversion and the role of victim input in admission decisions.
