State v. Wilson
| 2025-CA-71 | The trial court did not err in reducing the degree of the sex offender registration notification (“SORN”) offense to which appellee pled from a third-degree felony with a mandatory prison sentence to a fourth-degree felony without a mandatory sentence. The enhancement provisions of R.C. 2950.99 pertaining to appellee’s offense apply only to offenders with prior convictions of specified SORN offenses. Under the plain language of the statute, such prior offenses do not include attempt offenses. Because appellee had only a prior conviction of an attempted SORN offense, he was not subject to the enhancement provisions of R.C. 2950.99. Judgment affirmed. | Hanseman | Clark |

State v. Beauvais
| 2025-CA-89 | Appellant’s conviction for abduction is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Appellant's abduction conviction was not subject to merger with his strangulation conviction, because when he committed abduction, he had already completed his strangulation offense. Appellant’s consecutive sentences are not contrary to law. Judgment affirmed. | Huffman | Clark |

In re Guardianship of Judy
| 2026-CA-19 | The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it denied petitioner’s application for guardianship of her daughter. Ample evidence supported the trial court’s determination that it was in the best interest of the daughter to have an independent third-party appointed as her guardian. Judgment affirmed. | Epley | Clark |

State v. Craft
| 2025-CA-66 | Appellant’s conviction of gross sexual imposition is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. A video apparently portrayed appellant’s sexual contact, but it was not part of the evidence in appellant’s jury trial. The evidence admitted at trial, including appellant’s testimony, did not contradict the victim’s account of the incident. The jury did not render a manifest miscarriage of justice by crediting the victim’s testimony and finding appellant guilty. Judgment affirmed. (Huffman, J., concurring in judgment only.) | Hanseman | Greene |

State v. Moredock
| 2025-CA-41 | The trial court did not err in failing to hold a separate hearing on jail-time credit. The trial court erred in imposing a sentence for strangulation in the judgment entry that differed from the orally-imposed sentence. Sentence for strangulation reversed, and matter remanded for a nunc pro tunc entry imposing a 16-month prison sentence for strangulation. In all other respects, judgment affirmed. | Epley | Miami |
