State ex rel. Wade v. Shoop

Summary

The Ohio Supreme Court affirmed the Fourth District Court of Appeals’ dismissal of Wade’s habeas corpus petition, holding that the adult court did not patently and unambiguously lack subject‑matter jurisdiction over his convictions. The Court applied the Turner rule that a juvenile‑to‑adult bindover transfers jurisdiction over the entire case, rejecting Wade’s mental‑age and bindover arguments. It also noted that Wade had an adequate ordinary‑law remedy for his constitutional claims, precluding habeas relief.
