When One of Offender’s Convictions May Not Be Sealed, Law Does Not Allow Sealing Record of Other Offenses

The Supreme Court of Ohio ruled unanimously today that when an applicant with multiple convictions under one case number moves to seal his or her criminal record in that case pursuant to R.C. 2953.32, and one of those convictions is exempt from sealing pursuant to R.C. 2953.36, the trial court may not seal the remaining convictions.
