Montgomery case with teleconferencing technology. (Ohio Channel) Facebook Share COLUMBUS, Ohio – Allowing a crime victim to sit at the prosecutor’s table and be introduced as a representative of the state during a kidnapping and rape trial prejudiced the jury against the defendant, his attorney argued before the Ohio Supreme Court on Wednesday. “This is a case that depended entirely on the credibility of the alleged victim,” said Addison Spriggs, an attorney for Theodis Montgomery, who wants the court to vacate his conviction and order a new trial because she said his trial wasn’t fair.
