State v. Hardin

In State v. Hardin, 6th Dist. No. L-03-1131, L-03-1132, L-03-1133, 2003 Ohio 7263, however, this court held that it is not an abuse of discretion to fail to hold a hearing on R.C. 2937.39 motions for bond remittance when no request for a hearing was made and the sureties "simply made bare allegations that they were entitled to relief without further elucidation." Hardin, P 14. Furthermore, having found that there was support in the record for the trial courts' decisions, the majority held that the trial courts did not abuse their discretion by failing to set forth their findings, or the rationale they used, when denying the motions.
