View this case - free  

Overview: The notice given to the natural father was sufficient to satisfy R.C. § 3107.11(A) as the original notice of the filing of the adoption petition did not need to include any language specifying the dual issues that were to be presented at the hearing and the trial court did not need to hold a separate hearing as to the best interests of the child.

View this case - free  

Overview: Although defendant did not expressly threaten harm when he had intercourse with minor victim, there was sufficient evidence of force presented at trial to support imposition of life sentence under R.C. § 2907.02. Evidence showed that defendant was in position of authority over victim as he was in charge of the victim when her parents were not home.

State v. Fletcher, C.A. No. 23171, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, NINTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, SUMMIT COUNTY, January 17, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The jury did not lose its way in finding defendant guilty of possession of marijuana and cocaine, under R.C. § 2925.11(A), and possessing criminal tools, under R.C. § 2923.24. The jury could have reasonably interpreted the flurry of activity in the car prior to the stop as defendant's attempt to hide the drugs and scale.

View this case - free  

Overview: An App. R. 26(B) application to reopen court's judgment affirming defendant's convictions was dismissed.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's motion to suppress was properly denied as untimely, under Crim. R. 12(D), because he did not try to show good cause for an untimely filing, until seeking reconsideration of its denial, or timely seek an extension to file it, and his reasons for an untimely filing did not show it was in the best interest of justice to allow the filing.

Strongsville Bd. of Educ. v. Cuyahoga County Bd. of Revision, No. 2005-1638, SUPREME COURT OF OHIO, January 17, 2007, Decided
View this case - free  

Overview: The Board of Tax Appeals (BTA) could rely on an appraisal instead of a recent sale price to find the value of real estate for tax purposes because the sale was not an arms-length transaction. The BTA's choice of an appraisal did not abuse discretion, and minor inaccuracies did not render its decision unreasonable or unlawful, under R.C. § 5717.04.
