State v. Khalif

2024-0930

Criminal law—R.C. 2901.09—"Stand your ground” amendment to self-defense law does not apply retroactively to offenses committed prior to amendment’s effective date—R.C. 2945.75(A)(2)—A guilty verdict constitutes a finding of guilty of the least degree of the offense charged unless verdict form states the degree of the offense or the elevating element—Verdict form does not support a finding of guilty for an elevated degree of an offense when the form states that the offense is “as charged in the indictment”—Failure to object to noncompliant verdict form forfeits all but plain error—Defendant failed to prove that noncompliant verdict form violated his substantial rights when he was sentenced for the offense for which he was indicted and found guilty—Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part and cause remanded.
