§ 2953.14.
Whenever a court superior to the trial court renders judgment adverse to the state
in a criminal action or proceeding, the state, through either the prosecuting attorney
or the attorney general, may institute an appeal to reverse such judgment in the next
higher court. If the conviction was for a violation of a municipal ordinance, such appeal may
be brought by the village solicitor, city director of law, or other chief legal officer
of the municipal corporation. Like proceedings shall be had in the higher court at the hearing of the appeal as
in the review of other criminal actions or proceedings. The clerk of the court rendering the judgment sought to be reversed, on application
of the prosecuting attorney, attorney general, solicitor, director of law, or other
chief legal officer shall make a transcript of the docket and journal entries in the
action or proceeding, and transmit it with all papers and files in the action or proceeding
to the higher court.
