State v. Davis

8-25-19

Merger; Consecutive Sentences; R.C. 2929.14(C)(4)(c). The trial court did not err by failing to merge the defendant-appellant's multiple convictions for pandering sexually-oriented-matter involving a minor. The trial court's decision to run the sentences for the convictions consecutively was not contrary to law.

State v. Grafmiller

9-26-06

Manifest Weight; Self-Defense; In Loco Parentis; Reasonable Parental Discipline. The judgment of the trial court convicting appellant of assault was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not err by refusing a self-defense instruction as there was no threat of imminent bodily harm and the responding force was excessive for the circumstances. Teachers are generally not in an in loco parentis relationship with their students. Teachers are not entitled to the reasonable parental discipline exception because a statute specifically forbids a public school teacher from engaging in corporal punishment.

State v. Lingam

14-25-44

Expert Testimony; Mistrial; Sufficient Evidence; Prosecutorial Misconduct; Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. A trial court has broad discretion over matters related to the admission of evidence, including the testimony of expert witnesses. A trial court's decision to deny a motion for a mistrial is reviewed for an abuse of discretion on appeal. Prosecutorial misconduct is only grounds for reversal if the defendant was thereby deprived of a fair trial. To establish an ineffective assistance of counsel claim, the defendant must demonstrate that his trial counsel's performance was deficient and that this deficient performance prejudiced his defense.

State v. Wood

16-26-04

Presentence Investigation Report; PSI; R.C. 2951.03; plain error; clear and convincing evidence. The trial court did not err in relying on the defendant's presentence investigation report in imposing its sentence, which was argued to be incorrect for the first time on appeal, when the defendant failed to object to the errors in report at the sentencing hearing.
