At least one reviewed court has limited this case’s holding to narrower facts or a narrower rule. No reviewed court has overruled it. All 32 flagged citations have been read. State v. Caldwell held that State v. Williams did not make an already final failure to verify conviction void and open to collateral attack, although Williams required vacating Caldwell's sentence.
More on how this was screened

That limit is listed below.

Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

32 later cases cite State v. Williams; 32 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.

    State v. Caldwell · Court of Appeals of Ohio, Second Appellate District · filed

    The principal issue in the second allegation is whether either Bodyke, as applied in State v. Gingell, 128 Ohio St.3d 444, 2011-Ohio-1481, 947 N.E.2d 192, or State v. Williams, 129 Ohio St.3d 344, 2011-Ohio-3374, 952 N.E.2d 1108, decided during the pendency of this appeal, rendered Caldwell’s failure-to-verify conviction void. We conclude that these decisions rendered his conviction not void but voidable.
