Ohio Supreme Court declines to review Reynolds' overturned felony conviction due to insufficient evidence.
Ohio Supreme Court declined to review former Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds' overturned felony conviction due to insufficient evidence. Reynolds was found guilty of a fourth-degree felony for self-dealing, but acquitted on other charges. His lawyers argue that appellate judges made the right decision, while the state claims the decision may set a precedent for public officials only being convicted of corruption if the illegal contract is secured. Reynolds faces no further charges.
