James E. Tierney,
Samantha Burke

A key recommendation of the Ohio Supreme Court in its 2016 report on reviewing the use of lethal force by police was to move the investigation and possible prosecution away from District Attorneys and to the Office of Ohio Attorney General.   While there has been no action on this recommendation in Ohio, the Court states the case for removing such cases from local prosecutors.
