State v. Lovell
| 25CA00040 | The trial judge's response to a written question from jurors during deliberations was correct and not misleading, and the defendant's conviction on a felony domestic-violence charge was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. | Gormley | Licking |

State v. Kovach
| 2025CA00038 | Defense counsel's decision not to object at the client's jury trial appears to have been a reasonable tactical choice rather than ineffective assistance of counsel, and the defendant's strangulation and assault convictions are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. At sentencing, the trial court did not commit plain error by imposing community-control conditions barring the defendant from using illegal drugs or alcohol and barring him from entering liquor stores and bars. | Gormley | Stark |
