False Statements

Official Statement

In the case reported by Cleveland 19 News, Investigator Glenn Orr of the Summit County Sheriff's Office was disciplined for submitting a report about an inmate's escape that was not "truthful and complete." Such conduct, involving the submission of inaccurate or incomplete reports, directly pertains to an officer's credibility and honesty. Therefore, it qualifies as Brady material, as it could be used to impeach the officer's testimony in court. Consequently, this misconduct necessitates disclosure to the defense in any case where Investigator Orr is involved, in compliance with the Brady Rule.

Ohio Open Records Law

Ohio Rev. Code sec. 149.43 et seq.

The Ohio Open Records Law, first enacted in 1963, is contained in Section 149.43 of the Ohio Revised Code. The law describes what records are available, what agencies are covered, what fees can be charged, who can ask for records, etc. Records include all records kept by any public office as well as records of both non-profit and for-profit private schools.

Anyone may request public records and no statement of purpose is required. In fact records requests need not even be submitted in writing and can be made anonymously. There are no restrictions to the use of records and the Ohio Open Records Law does not specify a time limit on open records request.
