State v. Miree

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the appellate court's judgment, holding that the 2020 amendment to R.C. 2901.09 eliminating the duty to retreat does not apply retroactively to offenses committed before its effective date, and that the procedural amendment in division (C) likewise does not apply to the trial. The court reasoned that statutes are presumed prospective and the amendment is substantive, so it cannot affect liability for past conduct.
