In re R.P.
| 1-25-05 | Restitution; R.C. 2152.20; Receiving Stolen Property; 2913.51(A). The trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining the amount of restitution suffered by the victim as a direct and proximate result of appellant's delinquent act. | Miller | Allen |

State ex rel. Pelmear v. Henry Cty. Land Reutilization Corp.
| 7-25-05 | Open Meetings Act; R.C. 121.22; Discovery; Civ.R. 26(B); Civ.R. 34; Discovery Sanction; Admission of Evidence; Injunctive Relief; Burden of Proving an Open Meetings Act Violation. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the relator-appellant’s objection to the respondents-appellees’ reliance on its exhibits or by admitting the respondents-appellees’ exhibits at trial because the relator-appellant failed to use the proper procedural tools under Civ.R. 34 to obtain the documents. Because the relator-appellant failed to satisfy his burden of proving that the respondents-appellees violated Ohio’s Open Meetings Act under R.C. 121.22(F), the trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the relator-appellant’s requested injunctive relief. | Zimmerman | Henry |

In re G.N.
| 10-24-09 & 10-24-10 | Permanent Custody; Best Interest; Manifest Weight of the Evidence; In Camera Interview; Evidence; Hearsay; Kinship. The trial court’s decision granting the Agency permanent custody was supported by clear and convincing evidence. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying Mother-appellant’s motion for an in-camera interview. Mother-appellant and Father-appellant’s arguments relating to the shelter-care hearing and adjudication hearings were not timely. | Miller | Mercer |

In re Adoption of T.M.Z.
| 13-25-07 | CONTESTED ADOPTION; R.C. 3107.01(A); NO CONTACT WITH MINOR; JUSTIFIABLE CAUSE; MANIFEST WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE; R.C. 3107.161(B); BEST-INTEREST DETERMINATION; ABUSE OF DISCRETION; ADMISSION OF EVIDENCE; R.C. 3107.031; HOME STUDY. The record does not contain credible evidence that the biological mother intentionally concealed the minor child’s whereabouts. Therefore, the trial court’s determination that the biological father-appellant was without justifiable cause for his failure to have contact with the child during the one-year period immediately preceding the filing of the adoption petition is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The record reflects that the trial court considered the factors set forth in R.C. 3107.161(B) in making its best-interest determination. Thus, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in granting the petitioner-stepfather’s adoption petition. The trial court appointed an assessor to conduct a home study of the petitioner-stepfather’s home. The purpose of a home study is to ascertain whether a person seeking to adopt a minor is suitable to adopt. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting the assessor’s report filed in compliance with R.C. 3107.031. | Zimmerman | Seneca |

The defendant-appellant’s robbery conviction is based on sufficient evidence and is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The defendant-appellant was not deprived of a fair trial due to prosecutorial misconduct. | Zimmerman | Union |

State v. Gingerich
| 14-25-10 | Misdemeanor Sentencing; R.C. 4511.21; R.C. 2929.22; R.C. 2929.24. The trial court sentenced the defendant-appellant to 60 days in jail with 30 days suspended on a third-degree misdemeanor. Absent an affirmative showing that the trial court failed to consider the applicable statutory factors, this court will presume that the trial court considered the criteria set forth in R.C. 2929.22 when imposing a misdemeanor sentence. | Zimmerman | Union |

Horne v. Adena Pointe Homeowners Assn., Inc.
| 14-25-03 | Summary Judgment; Declaratory Judgment; Business Judgment Rule; R.C. 5312.16. The trial court erred by granting summary judgment in favor of the plaintiffs-appellees, as the plaintiffs-appellees failed to carry their burden of proving that the homeowners’ association’s restrictions were unreasonable as a matter of law. However, because genuine issues of material fact remain on the undeveloped record, the defendants-appellants were also not entitled to summary judgment. | Zimmerman | Union |

State v. Clapsaddle
| 6-24-17 | Rape; Gross Sexual Imposition; Evid.R. 404(B); Other Acts Evidence; Ineffective Assistance of Counsel; Rebuttal Testimony. The conviction for gross sexual imposition was supported by sufficient evidence. The conviction for rape was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not commit plain error in allowing other-acts evidence to be introduced by the State. Defendant-appellant did not show that his trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance. The trial court did not err by allowing the State to offer rebuttal testimony after the Defense rested its case. | Miller | Hardin |

State v. Greenawalt
| 9-24-40 | Self-Defense; Jury Instruction; Separation of Witnesses; Prior Inconsistent Statements; Cumulative Error. To raise the affirmative defense of self-defense at trial, the defendant must produce evidence that tends to support the conclusion that his or her use of force was justified. To warrant a jury instruction on self-defense, the defendant must produce evidence that (1) he or she was not at fault in creating the situation that led to the affray; (2) he or she had a bona fide belief that the use of force was the only way to escape an imminent threat of death or great bodily harm; (3) he or she did not violate any applicable duty to retreat. A separation order is issued to prevent witnesses from hearing the testimony of others and tailoring their statements accordingly. Issues relating to the separation of witnesses are entrusted to the discretion of the trial court. If a witness admits to making a prior inconsistent statement, a trial court does not abuse its discretion in excluding extrinsic evidence of that prior inconsistent statement. | Willamowski | Marion |

State v. Jones
| 1-25-07 | Self-Defense; Recklessness; Manifest Weight; Sufficient Evidence; Nondeadly Force. Recklessness is defined as disregarding, with heedless indifference to the consequences, a substantial and unjustifiable risk that the person's conduct is likely to cause. If the defendant produces sufficient evidence to create an issue as to each of the elements of the affirmative defense of self-defense, the State has the burden of disproving at least one of the elements of self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. If the defendant was at fault in creating the affray, he or she cannot claim self-defense. | Willamowski | Allen |

State v. Downton
| 1-25-32 | Violating a Protection Order; R.C. 2919.27(A)(2); Manifest Weight of the Evidence. The defendant-appellant’s violating a protection order conviction is not against the manifest weight of the evidence because the weight of the evidence presented at trial reflected that she did not immediately depart the public place when she accidentally encountered the victim as required by the protection order. | Zimmerman | Allen |

State v. Murphy
| 10-25-05 | Pretrial Delay; Constitutional Right to a Speedy Trial; Withdrawal of Guilty Plea; Criminal Rule 43; and Effectiveness of Counsel. The trial court did not violate Criminal Rule 43 when it required the defendant to appear remotely when no objection was made and no prejudice to the defendant is shown. Trial court did not err in denying the motion to withdraw the guilty plea when it weighed the factors for granting it and determined that they fell against granting the motion. Constitutional right to a speedy trial was waived by defendant and was fully considered by the trial court. Counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise the speedy trial issue when it was considered and denied by the trial court. | Willamowski | Mercer |

| 6-25-03 & 6-25-04 | Permanent Custody; Reasonable Efforts; Sunset Date.

The child-appellant’s breaking and entering and vandalism adjudications were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by admitting photographs into evidence because the State properly authenticated the photographs by presenting testimony from a witness with personal knowledge of the scene. | Zimmerman | Paulding |

Williams v. D&J House Doctors, L.L.C.
| 13-25-08 | Summary Judgment; "As Is" Clause; Fraud; Bad Faith Claim. An "as is" clause in a purchase agreement for fraud will not bar a claim of positive fraud against the seller of the property. Unlike a claim for negligence, a buyer must prove that the seller had some knowledge of the defect in question where an "as is" clause is contained in the purchase agreement. R.C. 5302.30 directs sellers to complete a residential property disclosure form. However, this document is not a warranty. Thus, the purchaser has a duty to inspect the premises and is charged with knowledge of the conditions that a reasonable inspection would uncover. | Willamowski | Seneca |

State v. Parsons
| 7-25-01 | Motion For Leave For A New Trial; Crim.R. 33; Unavoidably Prevented: Brady v. Maryland. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by partially denying the defendant-appellant’s motion for leave to file a motion for a new trial because the defendant-appellant did not carry his burden of demonstrating a Brady violation. Therefore, the defendant-appellant was not unavoidably prevented from discovering the new evidence. | Zimmerman | Henry |

In re X.G.
| 8-24-42 | Permanent Custody; R.C. 2151.414. The trial court’s decision to grant permanent custody of the child to the agency is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Clear and convincing evidence supports the trial court’s finding that the child cannot be placed with either parent within a reasonable period of time or should not be placed with either parent, and that it was in the child’s best interest that the agency be granted permanent custody. | Zimmerman | Logan |

| 8-25-03 | Adequacy of Counsel; Duty to Investigate.

Without the specific allegations, the trial court had no duty to investigate the performance. | Willamowski | Logan |

Kemmler v. Kemmler
| 10-25-06 | Withholding Order; Abuse of Discretion. Under R.C. 3121.441(A), a trial court may permit an obligor to make spousal support payments directly to the obligee if no minor children were born as the result of the marriage. This issue is committed to the discretion of the trial court. Before rendering a decision, a trial court must fully consider the circumstances of a case before issuing a judgment. | Willamowski | Mercer |

The trial court’s decision granting the Agency permanent custody was supported by clear and convincing evidence. Mother-appellant’s arguments relating to the trial court’s compliance with the Kinship Caregiver Act are untimely. The trial court did not commit reversible error by not appointing an attorney for the children. | Miller | Shelby |

State v. Soto
| 12-24-06 | Final and Appealable Order; Plea Agreement; Motion to Dismiss Indictment. The trial court's order denying defendant-appellant's motion to enforce his plea agreement and dismiss the criminal case was a final, appealable order. For two independent reasons, the trial court did not err in denying the motion. First, circumstances for applying the principles from Supreme Court of Ohio caselaw on which defendant-appellant's appeal relies are absent from the peculiar facts and scenario presented. Second, defendant-appellant breached the plea agreement, so he is barred from attempting to enforce it against the State to dismiss the current indictment. | Miller | Putnam |

State v. Gochenour
| 14-25-07 | Sentencing Factors; R.C. 2929.11; R.C. 2929.12; Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. Appellate court lacks jurisdiction to consider the application of the sentencing factors. Counsel was not ineffective for not raising all the factors that possibly could have been raised in mitigation when the trial court indicated it had considered those factors. Counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise a letter written to the court by the defendant's mother when there was no indication counsel even knew it existed. | Willamowski | Union |

| 16-25-01 | Domestic violence civil protection order; R.C. 3113.31; Menacing by stalking; R.C. 2903.211; First Amendment; Freedom of speech. The trial court did not err in granting the petitioner-appellee's petition for a domestic violence civil protection order as the pattern of conduct of the respondent-appellant giving rise to the protection order is not protected by his First Amendment right to free speech. | Waldick | Wyandot |

In re B.S.
| 4-25-03 | Permanent Custody; Facial Constitutionality of a Statute; R.C. 2151.414(C); Waiver; Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. By failing to raise her constitutional argument in the trial court, the mother-appellant waived the issue for appeal. Mother-appellant’s trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to raise her constitutional claim because she cannot demonstrate prejudice given that courts have consistently rejected similar constitutional challenges to R.C. 2151.414. | Zimmerman | Hancock |

State v. Treece
| 5-23-42, 5-23-43 | Joinder; Simple and Direct Test; Plain Error. The law generally favors joining multiple criminal offenses together for trial. However, separate trials are to occur if the joinder of the charges would prejudice the defendant. The defendant cannot demonstrate prejudice where the evidence presented at trial satisfies the simple-and-direct test. Under this test, evidence is simple and direct if the jury can readily separate the proof for each offense; the evidence is unlikely to confuse the jurors; the evidence is straightforward; and there is little danger that the jury would improperly consider the evidence of one offense as corroborative of the others. | Willamowski | Hancock |

The trial court did not err by awarding permanent custody of the children to the agency. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the grandparents-appellants’ motions for legal custody of the children. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by determining that the agency made reasonable efforts toward reunification. | Zimmerman | Hancock |

Homon v. Curtis
| 14-24-49 | Transcripts; App.R. 9; App.R. 10; R.C. 3109.051(K); Attorney's Fees; Court Costs. Defendant-appellant failed to provide the transcript necessary to resolve several of her assignments of error, so the trial court’s decisions as to those assignments of error are affirmed. Where defendant-appellant requested attorney’s fees and court costs and the trial court found the adverse party in contempt of court, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in deciding not to award appellant any attorney's fees, but it erred as a matter of law in failing to address the issue of court costs under R.C. 3109.051(K). | Miller | Union |

Trial court conducted an independent review. | Willamowski | Seneca |

State v. Thompson
| 1-24-51 | SUFFICIENCY; MANIFEST WEIGHT; INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE. The defendant-appellant’s gross sexual imposition conviction is based on sufficient evidence because the State presented sufficient evidence of the force or threat of force element. The defendant-appellant’s sexual battery and gross sexual imposition convictions are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The defendant-appellant’s trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to obtain his medical records. | Zimmerman | Allen |

| 14-24-45 | Consecutive Sentences; R.C. 2929.14(C)(4); Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. The trial court made the appropriate R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) findings necessary to impose consecutive sentences and the record supports the trial court’s findings. Absent a showing that the defendant-appellant’s prison term is disproportionate to other similarly-situated offenders, the defendant-appellant has not established deficient performance by his attorney or prejudice in this matter. | Zimmerman | Union |

| 9-24-62 | Postconviction Relief; Res Judicata; Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. Res judicata can operate to bar claims in a petition for postconviction relief where the claims could have been raised on direct appeal. However, res judicata does not bar a petition for postconviction relief if the petition had the same attorney at trial and on direct appeal or if the petitioner must rely on evidence outside the trial record to establish his claim. Appellate courts review a decision to deny a petition for postconviction relief under an abuse of discretion standard. | Willamowski | Marion |

State v. Pitts
| 1-24-72 | Post-release control; R.C. 2929.141(A); Presentence Motion to Withdraw. Defendant-appellant failed to clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the prison term the trial court imposed for his violation of post-release control supervision was not reduced by the prison term administratively imposed by the parole board. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying defendant-appellant's presentence motion to withdraw his guilty plea. | Miller | Allen |
