State v. Roberson
| L-16-1131 | Trial court did not commit plain error by failing to merge aggravated burglary in violation of R.C. 2911.11(A)(1) and rape in violation of R.C. 2907.02(A)(2) and (B) because the two offenses were of dissimilar import. The aggravated burglary conviction resulted in harm, i.e., theft of the victim's belongings, that was separate and identifiable from the physical harm that resulted from the rape. | Mayle | Lucas |

State v. Tucker
| WD-16-063 | Failure to conduct preliminary hearing within ten days did not entitle appellant to dismissal of charges where he failed to object and was later indicted. Court committed no plain error in instructing jury on "knowingly." State presented evidence of "force" element of robbery and jury did not clearly lose way in finding element proven. Trial court was not required to consider ability to pay costs of prosecution. Prosecutor's improper comments during closing did not rise to level of plain error. | Mayle | Wood |
