Diehl & Hubbell wins recent Ohio Supreme Court case.
Diehl & Hubbell successfully argued that a trial court must inform a defendant of certain potential consequences at the time of sentencing. The Ohio Supreme Court’s decision reversed the Twelfth District Court of Appeals. The appellate court originally denied the requested relief under the ripeness doctrine.
The Ohio Supreme Court sided with the Defendant, and indicated that a reviewing court must strictly construe the statutory language.
The case is State v. Smith, 2012-Ohio-781.
The opinion can be found at: http://www.sconet.state.oh.us/rod/docs/pdf/0/2012/2012-ohio-781.pdf

Bethel Mayor’s Court
Bethel, home of Ulysses S. Grant, is one of many Ohio municipalities that has created a Mayor’s Court. This Court hears traffic cases, OVI (or DUI), driving under suspension (DUS), and other misdemeanors. Mayor’s Courts are presided over by a Magistrate.
The Bethel Police Department and the Clermont County Sheriff can cite first time offenders into the Bethel Mayor’s Court. Because Mayor’s Courts are not courts of record, a Defendant has the automatic right to appeal the case, regardless of the result. If a Defendant is not pleased with how their case turned out at the Mayor’s Court, the case can start over in the Clermont County Court. As Marty Hubbell says, “It is like getting two bites at the apple, which can be a great advantage to the defense.”
When charged with an offense in Bethel Mayor’s Court, it is especially important to retain a local lawyer who has experience working in these unique types of Courts. Because of the unofficial nature of Mayor’s Courts, the procedures and practical approaches to the case can vary greatly.
Bethel Mayor’s Court is conducted every third Wednesday at 6:30 at Village of Bethel Municipal Building. Your court date will be listed on your ticket or subpoena. Further information can be obtained at Bethel’s website:

Moraine Mayor’s Court
By Marty Hubbell
Some Ohio municipalities have created Mayor’s Courts, as authorized by the Ohio Revised Code. These Courts hear traffic cases, OVI (or DUI), DUS, and other misdemeanors.
The Moraine Police Department or Montgomery County Sheriff can cite first time offenders into the Moraine, Ohio Mayor’s Court. Mayor’s Courts are not courts of record, and a Defendant has the automatic right to appeal the case, regardless of the result. If a Defendant is not pleased with how the case was resolved in Moraine Mayor’s Court, the case can start over in the Montgomery County court system. It is like getting two bites at the apple, which can be a great advantage to the defense.
When charged with an offense in Moraine Mayor’s Court, it is especially important to retain a local attorney who has experience working in these types of Courts. Because these Courts are not official, the procedures and formalities can vary greatly, especially compared to County or Municipal Courts.
Moraine Mayor’s Court is located at 4200 Dryden Road, Moraine, Ohio, 45439. The Court is in session every Wednesday beginning at 1:30 p.m. Be sure to check your ticket to ensure the proper date and time, as the Court has been known to change regular hours due to time conflicts.
