State v. Yusufi

CA2025-08-099

Reversible error occurred where the defendant's felonious assault and domestic violence convictions were not merged because the defendant's wife was the victim of both crimes, both crimes had the same identifiable, physical harm—a cut to her lip as well as serious gum and tooth damage, and the underlying conduct leading to those offenses occurred at the same time—defendant struck a mug off the table out of anger towards his wife, and the mug immediately hit her in the face.

Citibank v. Thomson

CA2026-04-014

Appeal taken directly from magistrate's "entries." Magistrate "entries," which should be properly classified as "decisions," are not final appealable orders where trial court fails to rule on or take any action authorized under Civ.R. 53. Magistrate's decisions remain interlocutory until adopted by the court. Absent a final appealable order, a court of appeals has no jurisdiction and must dismiss the appeal.

State v. King

CA2026-01-004

Convictions and sentence affirmed. Video evidence presented at trial demonstrated that defendant did not act in self-defense when he punched a corrections officer. Trial counsel's decision to not call an expert witness at trial was a matter of strategy and did not constitute ineffective assistance of counsel. Finally, defendant's short statement to law enforcement after punching a corrections officer was given voluntarily and under circumstances that did not require Miranda warnings.

Thomas v. Davis

CA2026-01-012

Trial court did not err in applying the two-prong accrual test for legal malpractice where the cognizable event and the termination of the attorney-client relationship fell on the same date. Retention of new appellate counsel does not itself place a client on notice of malpractice. But the claim was still time-barred where the client knew objective facts that placed him on notice. An attorney's failure to communicate does not delay accrual where that silence is itself the alleged malpractice and the client knew of it as it occurred.
