Voters Approve Issue 1 – Marsy’s Law

Ohioans have voted to expand crime victims’ right to more closely match those of the accused.  Approval of Issue 1 places the new guarantees into the state constitution.  They include notice of court proceedings, input on plea deals and the ability for victims and their families to tell their story.  Dubbed Marsy’s Law for Ohio, the measure was championed by California billionaire Henry Nicholas, whose sister was stalked and killed by her ex-boyfriend.
