Syllabus

Juvenile mandatory bindover, R.C. 2152.10(A)(2)(b) and 2152.12(A)(1)(b), due process clause of Ohio and United States Constitution. Appellant challenges the constitutionality of the mandatory juvenile bindover provisions of R.C. 2152.10(A)(2)(b) and 2152.12(A)(1)(b), requiring that juveniles who commit certain classes of crimes be boundover for trial as an adult. Subsequent to the filing of this appeal, the Ohio Supreme Court vacated on reconsideration State v. Aalim, Slip Opinion No. 2016 Ohio 8278, the opinion upon which appellant relies, and determined in State v. Aalim, Slip Opinion No. 2017 Ohio 2956, that the mandatory bindover is constitutional. Appellant's challenge fails.
