Notary Case Turns Criminal | Omaha News

A Nebraska notary, Jacy Todd, 55, was convicted on 23 counts of official misconduct and one count of false statement over medical marijuana petitions in 2024 — resulting in $3,866.44 in fines, but no jail time. His defense argues the case should’ve been civil, not criminal, claiming his notarization errors were procedural, not criminal. They also allege prosecutorial misconduct, citing inflammatory opening statements that unfairly smeared Todd’s credibility. Todd’s attorneys are now appealing, seeking either a full dismissal or a new trial, with a hearing scheduled for August 17. The outcome could redefine how notary errors are prosecuted.
