Syllabus

CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS – CRIM.R. 3 – OATHS – AFFIDAVITS – JURATS – CONFESSION OF ERROR: The criminal complaints against defendant were invalid under Crim.R. 3(A), and the municipal court therefore lacked jurisdiction to convict defendant, where body-worn-camera footage revealed that the officer who signed the jurats attached to the criminal complaints had not administered an oath to the complaining witness and had not witnessed the complainant apply his signature.
