State v. V.M.D.
Annotate this CaseAppellee was an eighteen-year-old high school student when he allegedly committed criminal acts that led to his conviction of attempted robbery and attempted complicity in the commission of intimidation. Appellee later applied to the trial court to seal the records pertaining to his conviction. The State argued that Ohio Rev. Code 2953.36 prohibiting the sealing of the record of Appellee’s conviction because the statute prohibits the sealing of records of convictions of an offense of violence when the offense is a felony. The trial court denied Appellee’s application. The court of appeals reversed. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that attempted robbery is a crime of violence and that, pursuant to section 2953.36, a person convicted of attempted robbery is ineligible to have the record of that conviction sealed.
