Syllabus

EXPUNGEMENT – WEAPONS: The trial court did not err in granting defendant's petition to seal the record of his conviction for the illegal conveyance of a deadly weapon or dangerous ordnance in a school safety zone, because R.C. 2953.36(A)(6), which makes ineligible for sealing a first-degree misdemeanor or felony conviction for an offense where the victim was under 16, did not apply to prohibit the sealing of defendant's conviction where the record contained no evidence that defendant committed the offense during school hours, that any children were in the school during the offense, or that any children were in jeopardy during the offense: additional circumstances were required to qualify school children as \victims\ of defendant's illegal-conveyance-of-a-deadly-weapon-or-dangerous-ordnance-in-a-school-safety-zone offense.
