Review on Appeal. In Ohio, a defendant has the right to appeal to the court of appeals.

If the defendant is indigent, the state must provide her with counsel and a transcript of the

trial proceedings. The appeal is limited to issues that appear on the transcript. If the court of

appeals finds that an error occurred which affected the outcome of the trial, it will reverse

the conviction and remand the case to the trial court for retrial or other proceedings. If no

harmful error occurred, the court of appeals will affirm the conviction.

In Ohio, a defendant has no statutory right to appeal the decision of the court of appeals

except where the court of appeals has affirmed a judgment of a trial court which imposed

the death penalty. In non-death penalty cases, the defendant may petition the Ohio Supreme

Court to review her case.

In general, the Ohio Supreme Court is not required to allow an appeal, but may do so

depending on the issues raised in the appeal and the impact of the decision of the court of

appeals on Ohio law. If the Ohio Supreme Court declines to accept the defendant’s appeal

or if it affirms the conviction after allowing the appeal, the defendant may petition the Unit-

ed States Supreme Court to review the case. The United States Supreme Court can review

only issues involving rights granted or claimed under the United States Constitution. The

United States Supreme Court is not required to allow an appeal, but may do so depending

upon the issues presented in the appeal.

It should be noted that strict time limitations must be met when filing the appeal to

secure review in any of the above-mentioned courts. Further, there is no right to counsel

when petitioning the Ohio Supreme Court or the United States Supreme Court to allow the

appeal, although, in rare cases, counsel may be appointed.
