State v. Hiles
| 17-26-02 | R.C. 2951.03; factual errors in PSI. No factual errors in the PSI were alleged at the hearing. Rather there was a disagreement as to what the facts meant. Even if the trial court should have made findings, the failure to do so was not prejudicial as the facts were testified to by the victim at the sentencing hearing. | Willamowski | Shelby |

State v. Brown
| 1-25-34 | Drug Possession; Constructive Possession; Felony Sentencing; Consecutive Sentences; R.C. 2929.14(C)(4)(c). The defendant-appellant's drug possession convictions are supported by sufficient evidence establishing his constructive possession of the contraband. The trial court did not err by imposing consecutive sentences based on the defendant's prior criminal record and unsuccessful termination from community control. | Zimmerman | Allen |

Sprouse v. Brooks
| 1-26-01 | Paternity; Child Support; Jurisdiction. Trial court did not lack subject matter jurisdiction to hear the paternity and child support case pursuant to R.C. 2301.03(T). Trial court had personal jurisdiction when the appellant resided in the county issuing the order and the appellant waived any objection by appearing without challenging the jurisdiction. Appellant was granted all process he was due. There was no evidence of fraud or conflict of interest in the record. | Willamowski | Allen |

State v. Schmidt
| 1-25-66 | Ineffective Assistance of Counsel; Manifest Weight; Prosecutorial Misconduct; Confrontation Clause; Hearsay. In examining whether a defendant's substantial rights were affected under the standard for harmless error, an appellate court must determine (1) whether the error had an impact on the verdict and was, therefore prejudicial; (2) whether the error was not harmless beyond a reasonable doubt; and (3) whether the evidence establishes the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt after the inadmissible evidence is removed from consideration. An error is harmless where there is overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt or where the challenged testimony is purely cumulative of other evidence. An ineffective assistance of counsel claim requires the appellant to establish that his or her trial counsel's performance was deficient and that the deficient performance prejudiced his or her defense. If no objection is raised to comments made during closing arguments, all but plain error is forfeited as to any related claims of prosecutorial misconduct on appeal. | Willamowski | Allen |
