In State v. King, 2010-Ohio-3254 the 11th District Court of appeals ruled that Dawn King’s arrest for OVI be overturned on grounds that the prosecuting attorney committed prosecutorial misconduct in pointing out that the defendant was an attorney, thereby impliedly reducing the burden of proof required in the case.  This decision was made under a “plain error” standard because the defense attorney never objected to the prosecutor’s argument.  Click on the link above to read the full text of the case.
