State v. Ahreshien
| L-19-1184 | Convictions for rape, domestic violence and abduction were affirmed where the state put forth credible evidence that defendant raped and physically abused his wife and that he restrained her liberties by restricting her to their apartment. Claims of ineffective assistance of counsel failed, either because they were inappropriate for a direct appeal or because they were premised upon defendant’s disagreement with counsel’s strategy and trial tactics. | Osowik | Lucas |

State v. Rink
| L-20-1049 | Appellant is not entitled to credit against his underlying felony sentences for the time that he was released on postrelease control, despite the trial court’s invalid imposition of postrelease control, because days on postrelease control when appellant was not physically held in a “public or private facility intended for penal confinement” are not considered “confinement” for purposes of R.C. 2967.191(A). | Mayle | Lucas |
