SUPCO overturns conviction of Columbus woman

The Ohio Supreme Court has upheld an appeals court ruling overturning the conviction of a Columbus woman for her role in a fatal hit-and-run in a shopping mall parking lot. The justices say the 2009 retrial and conviction in Clark County of 27-year-old Toneisha Gunnell violated her constitutional right against double jeopardy. A County judge had originally declared a mistrial. Gunnell and three other women were convicted in the 2005 death of 49-year-old John Deselem after they robbed a mall clothier.
