Cincinnati Enquirer v. Bloom

Found the blanket sealing of a juvenile’s delinquency records when the juvenile is found not delinquent — the juvenile equivalent of not guilty — unconstitutional because there was no determination that the harm to the juvenile outweighed the public’s right to access court records. The court also said that, when the opportunity presents itself, it may revisit other precedents where a litigant raised a claim under the Ohio Constitution and the court, “without any independent analysis,” had interpreted the state claim “in lockstep with the United States Constitution.”
