Hello ****,
In Ohio, you have the legal right to sue for damages if you've been the victim of theft. Here are some key points to consider:
- You need to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

What’s beyond a reasonable doubt?
"Beyond a reasonable doubt" is a legal standard in criminal cases. It means that the evidence presented is so convincing and clear that reasonable people could not disagree about the defendant's guilt. It's the highest standard of proof in law.
