His comprehensive order contained 14 components intended to bring an equal education to all Cleveland students. Battisti presided over other high-profile cases including the acquittal of eight former Ohio National Guardsmen in the 1970 Kent State University student killings, and the deportation hearing of John Demjanjuk.
