State v. Jewell
| 23CA4047 | CRIMINAL-MANIFEST WEIGHT OF EVIDENCE-MERGED OFFENSES - Even though appellant cites lack of independent witnesses, lack of gunshot residue evidence, lack of DNA testing on clothing, and lack of ballistic testing on "deformed" bullet fragment, jury could rely on circumstantial evidence to convict appellant of R.C. 2903.02/R.C. 2941.145, murder as a result of committing or attempting to commit a felony offense and using a firearm to facilitate the offense, and R.C. 2923.13, having weapons under disability, where trial court properly instructed the jury and the jurors were in the best position to determine credibility; a verdict is not against the manifest weight of the evidence because the jurors chose to believe the State's witnesses; because a trial court does not impose sentence for merged offenses, defendant is not "convicted" of merged offense and there is no "conviction" for appellate court to vacate, appellate court need not consider merged counts, see State v. Worley, 2021-Ohio-2207, at paragraph 73. | Smith | Scioto |

State v. Powell
| 24CA20 | CRIMINAL-JURY INSTRUCTIONS-ACCIDENT-REAGAN TOKES-R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(C)-CONSECUTIVE SENTENCES-SUFFICIENCY - The trial court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to provide an accident instruction for offenses with a mens rea of reckless and knowing; the trial court's failure to provide all five notifications contained in R.C. 2929.19(B)(2)(c)(i)-(v) as required by the Reagan Tokes Law rendered appellant's sentences contrary to law; the trial court's imposition of consecutive sentences was supported by the record; the defendant's convictions were supported by sufficient evidence. | Smith | Highland |
