Ohio Supreme Court

State v. Bostick

December 16, 20252025 Ohio 5559

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court held that Crim.R. 33(A)(6) requires a trial court to conduct an evidentiary hearing on a motion for a new trial based on newly discovered evidence, but does not obligate the court to hold an oral hearing; the trial court's discretion not to hold an oral hearing was not an abuse of discretion, and the Court of Appeals' judgment was affirmed.
