Legal Question in Criminal Law in Ohio

Re: ohio revised code 955.22

The code sections that you refer to deal with a number of issues. I really need more information before I can give you a meaningful answer to your question. Basically, 955.22 is designed to protect the public from dogs and 959.13 is designed to protect the animals! What do the code sections mean? They mean what they say-and what they really say is subject to interpretation by the courts. If you need to know how the laws would apply to a particular set of facts, you would try to find a case that has been decided by the courts that has a similar fact pattern. If you want a more detailed answer, you will have to give me more information. Feel free to call or send me an email with your contact information and I will see what I can do for you. Good Luck!
