State v. Rust, C. A. No. 23165, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, NINTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, SUMMIT COUNTY, January 10, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: There was no error in the trial court's decision not to instruct the jury on self-defense, under R.C. § 2901.05(C), as defendant could have avoided any confrontation with the victim by remaining in his house and seeking police protection. Instead, he chose to leave his house and confront the victim in his front yard, while wielding an aluminum bat.

Overview: Defendant's convictions for rape, under R.C. § 2907.02(A)(1)(b), and gross sexual imposition, under R.C. § 2907.05(A)(4), were not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
