State v. Davis

Summary

Nasheemia Davis appealed her conviction for indirect criminal contempt in the Akron Municipal Court. The Ninth District Court of Appeals held that the record did not establish a valid court order that Davis knowingly and intentionally violated, including any order requiring GPS monitoring or compliance with applicable laws. The court reversed the judgment and remanded for entry of a judgment of acquittal on the contempt charge.

Holdings

1. The conviction was not supported by sufficient evidence because the record did not show that Davis was ordered to comply with GPS monitoring in this case or that she violated any laws within one year of sentencing.
2. The first assignment of error was moot and was not addressed because the second assignment of error was dispositive.

Questions Presented

1. Whether sufficient evidence supported Davis's conviction for indirect criminal contempt.
2. Whether Davis's first assignment of error needed to be addressed after the court sustained her second assignment of error.
