State v. York
| 14-21-14 | The trial court did not commit plain error by conducting a single trial on all the charges pending against defendant-appellant. The trial court did not err by allowing plaintiff-appellee to introduce other-acts evidence. Insufficient evidence supports defendant-appellant's convictions for two counts of gross sexual imposition in violation of R.C. 2907.05(A)(5), but sufficient evidence supports defendant-appellant's conviction for one count of rape in violation of R.C. 2907.02(A)(1)(c). To the extent sufficient evidence supports defendant-appellant's convictions, defendant-appellant's convictions are not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
