What the record says

Ohio Court of Appeals issued an opinion on July 30, 2026 that deals with an innocence claim. From the opinion: “…Hubbard’s affidavit was offered as “newly discovered” evidence in Sailor’s effort to obtain a new trial…”

From the court opinion on CourtListener. An innocence claim being argued is not a finding of innocence. Records change. The source is the authority.
