42. The Walmart videos of the August, John Crawford shooting were held by the Attorney General.
Mon Nov 24, 2014, 07:25 AM
Nov 2014

Mike DeWine kept the videos for the police investigation to use in review to get their stories straight. Don't expect these to be released anytime soon.

The John Crawford case was in Beavercreek Ohio near Dayton. Mike DeWne remains attorney general.
