Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided April 10, 1991.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

HOLMES, J.

The single issue presented in this appeal is whether statements and evidence obtained from the appellee pursuant to a grant of "use" immunity in the context of a federal criminal prosecution were properly utilized by the Ohio Attorney General in a penalty assessment under R.C. 1345.07(D) and 4549.48(B). For the following reasons, we hold that such admissions were properly utilized, and reverse the judgment of the court of appeals in this regard.
