State v. Bryant
| L-17-1211 | Statements by prosecutor at sentencing that multiple officers raided the house and were yelling at the time that appellant fired several shots in their direction were sufficient to support the trial court’s conclusion that there were multiple victims of appellant’s act of felonious assault, and thus the two counts should not merge. | Pietrykowski | Lucas |

In re L.S.
| OT-17-021; OT-17-025 | R.C. 2907.02(A)(1)(c) is not unconstitutionally vague as applied. State presented sufficient evidence that juvenile knew or should have known that victim’s ability to resist or consent to sexual conduct was substantially impaired by voluntary intoxication. Counsel was not ineffective for stipulating to the admission of BCI reports and failing to object to purported hearsay statements. Juvenile court was required to comply with Juv.R. 29 and 35(B) when it imposed suspended DYS commitment. | Mayle | Ottawa |

State v. Clark
| L-17-1256 | Failure to preserve video depicting time when appellant allegedly made retaliatory threats does not violate due process where the video was not materially exculpatory because it did not contain audio and the state’s failure to preserve was the result of negligence, not bad faith. | Pietrykowski | Lucas |

State v. Patterson
| WD-17-045; WD-17-046 | Trial counsel was not so ineffective as to deprive appellant of meaningful representation because no error in the record resulted in prejudice or precluded appellant from entering a knowing, voluntary plea. R.C. 2941.401 time limits were not violated. | Singer | Wood |
