Ohio

After completing my first semester at Ohio State, I can already tell I am part of something very special. Granted, when I was accepted and when I made my decision to attend, I started to get the feeling that this would be the case. Growing up, I didn’t really think that this would be my case or story, but looking back on it, I am so happy it is. I was born in 1998 in Toledo, Ohio.

Mainly because of my old high school, Toledo School for the Arts. When I tell people that some of my greatest memories come from my school, people just laugh and assume…

Ohio allowed the American criminal justice system to realize that there was still a communication problem between federal and state departments of justice. “At the time of the case unlawfully seized evidence was banned from federal courts but not state courts” (Mapp v. Ohio Podcast). When there is a deviation between the two systems, in certain cases, then problems can arise.
