State ex rel. Harris v. Starcher

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court denied Lionel Harris’s mandamus action, finding the claims for his first and third public‑records requests moot and the claim for his second request untenable because the video no longer existed. The Court awarded $2,000 in statutory damages for two untimely requests, denied all of Harris’s cost requests, and rejected his motions for forensic analysis, rebuttal evidence, and sanctions.
