In the featured case, 6 of the 7 Republican justices decided that banks get to keep customers’ money if the banks destroy the records of the deposits. In this case, the customer, an elderly woman, had the ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT; the bank did not deny the Certificate was genuine, and admitted it had failed to maintain records of the deposit. The bank got to keep her money anyway. By law, banks are permitted to destroy records of accounts after 6 years of “inactivity.” The Supreme Court applied this to automatically renewing Certificates of Deposit. According to the Court, after 6 years a bank can destroy its records of the CD and keep the money!

The lone dissenting justice, Paul Pfeifer, summed up the decision this way: "Not everybody sits and counts his or her money every day. Mrs. Spiller has the certificate of deposit. The bank has nothing. The bank wins?"

Please disseminate this video so that all Ohioans understand what is at stake in this election.

We have the power to stop injustice by supporting Mary Jane Trapp and Eric Brown this November. Both have been rated higher than their opponents by a Cleveland Judicial Candidate Rating Coalition.
