The Case-in-Chief is where the prosecutor has the burden of proving every element of the crime and in an effort to establish the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, may present the direct testimony of witnesses and may introduce documents, scientific tests, and tangible evidence…

I headed into the courtroom of Judge Thomas Marcelain to observe my first courtroom trial. The trial involved a 31-year-old man named, Daniel Bohanna, of Pataskala. Mr. Bohanna decided to represent himself in his trial for fear of misrepresentation. He was charged with rape, kidnapping, and felonious assault. I have seen footage on T.V. from famous trials and of course seen reenactments from Hollywood, but I have never been to one in person until now. I can tell you this, T.V. and movies make…
