State v. Kovach
| 2025CA00038 | Defense counsel's decision not to object at the client's jury trial appears to have been a reasonable tactical choice rather than ineffective assistance of counsel, and the defendant's strangulation and assault convictions are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. At sentencing, the trial court did not commit plain error by imposing community-control conditions barring the defendant from using illegal drugs or alcohol and barring him from entering liquor stores and bars. | Gormley | Stark |

State v. Stanley
| 25 CA 015 | Where the evidence presented to a jury on four rape charges and on unrelated child-porn charges was simple and direct, a criminal defendant's trial counsel who failed to seek the severance of those charges was not ineffective. The trial court's inclusion of information about post-release control in a sentencing entry involving life-in-prison sentences was improper, but the error can be corrected with a revised sentencing entry. A new sentencing hearing need not be held, and information about parole need not be included in the revised sentencing entry even though parole is possible for the defendant's rape convictions. | Gormley | Fairfield |
