State v. Goodson 2025 CA 00034Though a criminal defendant's trial counsel provided deficient performance by filing a motion to suppress more than three months after the deadline for doing so, the defendant's ineffective-assistance claim comes up short where she cannot show that she was prejudiced or harmed by her attorney's deficient performance. The defendant had no reasonable probability of success on some issues raised in the tardy suppression motion, and she had no reasonable probability of winning at trial even had she succeeded on the other arguments in that motion.GormleyFairfield 4/24/2026 4/24/2026 2026-Ohio-1495

State v. Ratcliff 2025 CA 0007Where the trial court failed to explain to a felony defendant during a plea colloquy that he faced indefinite prison terms, and where the court gave an inaccurate explanation about the maximum prison terms that the defendant faced on each charge, a "complete" failure to comply with Criminal Rule 11(C)(2)(a)'s maximum-penalty requirement occurred.
