Ohio Supreme Court March 30, 1983, No. 82-229 (State v. Williams)

lead-opinion

Celebrezze, C.J.

This appeal poses the issue of whether the state, under the circumstances of this case, was required to disclose the identity of the informant to appellee, a criminal defendant.

Appellee argues that his rights to a fair trial and to confront his accusers were violated by the trial court’s ruling that the informant would remain anonymous.
