Self-Defense Is Legal in Ohio

You can never be sure. Breaking - Columbus Man Found Not Guilty in 2024 Circleville Fatal Shooting - Scioto Post

A Pickaway County jury has found 42-year-old Jaison McLean of Columbus not guilty in connection with a 2024 shooting that left one man dead outside McLean’s towing business in Circleville.

The verdict was delivered Thursday, October 23, 2025, following a multi-day trial in the Pickaway County Court of Common Pleas. McLean had faced charges of voluntary manslaughter, felonious assault, and involuntary manslaughter.

Circleville, Ohio is about 25 mile drive south of Columbus.

Even in a relatively rural part of the state, DAs hate self-defense.

The defense argued throughout the trial that McLean acted in self-defense, while prosecutors maintained that his actions constituted reckless use of deadly force. After deliberating, jurors sided with the defense, acquitting McLean on all counts.

Self-defense is a human right. (Hat tip to Gun News Daily.)

  1. Again, prosecutors trying to see what they can get away with. They should be disbarred.

  3. Disbar the prosecutor. When a DA bases criminal charges based on his own biases, he has no business being in the legal profession. In prosecutions like this the DA should have to pay defendant's legal expenses and compensate the defendant for being illegally prosecuted.
