State v. Ramsey
| CA2026-02-018 | Appellant's conviction for assault was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. In this case, the victim previously told officers that appellant had physically assaulted her and had red marks on both sides of her neck corroborating those claims. Although the victim later recanted, the municipal court, as trier of fact, was in the best position to observe the witnesses and determine their credibility and the weight to be given to their testimony. | Siebert | Butler |

State v. Farqiri
| CA2026-03-032 | Sentence reversed and case remanded for resentencing. The record does not demonstrate the trial court engaged in the analysis required by R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) and made the necessary findings at the sentencing hearing and in its sentencing entry to impose consecutive sentences. | Siebert | Butler |

State v. Stepp
| CA2025-06-067 | The trial court did not err in denying defendant's motion to request public records pursuant to R.C. 149.43(B)(8) and motion to compel discovery from the State pursuant to Crim. R. 16. Defendant's briefing on appeal identifies no pending litigation the documents he requested would be material to, does not demonstrate why Crim.R. 16 would be applicable to these post-trial proceedings, and otherwise wholly fails to cite and apply the standards of review and applicable law at issue in the appeal. Many of the defendant's appeals were frivolous and not reasonably grounded in fact or law and merit declaring the defendant a vexatious litigator. | Byrne | Butler |

State v. White
| CA2025-08-087 | Appellant's knowing, voluntary, and intelligent guilty plea waived any constitutional violations unrelated to the entry of the guilty plea and any non-jurisdictional defects in the proceedings. This includes claims made pursuant to the Interstate Agreement on Detainers Act, of which a defect is non-jurisdictional, as well as speedy trial violations based upon R.C. 2945.71. His constitutional speedy trial rights were waived where he filed written waivers of his constitutional speedy trial rights in the case and the record is void of evidence that those waivers were not voluntary, knowing, or intelligent. Even if appellant did not waive his constitutional right to a speedy trial, he did not raise the constitutional issue below and failed to argue plain error on appeal. | Hendrickson | Butler |

State v. Jamison
| CA2026-01-010 | The trial court violated the appellant's right to counsel when it forced the appellant, who is indigent, to represent himself pro se at a suppression hearing. The constitutional violation also constituted structural error because it is always fundamentally unfair to deny an attorney to an indigent defendant. The structural error automatically reverses appellant's convictions since he objected to the error at the trial court. | Byrne | Butler |
