State v. McGee, Case No. 05CA60, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, WASHINGTON COUNTY, January 25, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: None of the prosecutor's comments amounted to prosecutorial misconduct. The comment during voir dire called to the jurors' attention the witness's weakness as a State's witness due to his extensive criminal record, his plea deal, and his involvement in the crimes. The comments were not improper as they were based on what the evidence showed.

State v. Miller, Case No. 06CA11, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, FOURTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, WASHINGTON COUNTY, January 25, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court incorrectly imposed a five-year post-release control sanction, rather than the three-year period of post-release control, under R.C. § 2967.28. The trial court properly notified him at the sentencing hearing about the terms and conditions of post-release control and it was required to incorporate that notice into its journal entry.

State v. Mills, Case No. 2005CA0096, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, RICHLAND COUNTY, January 25, 2007, Date of Judgment Entry
View this case - free  

Overview: If defendant's stop for a window tint violation was pretext, suppression was not required, and a failure to address suppression of a pat-down was not fatal as defendant was under arrest and the search was done after detecting marijuana. The amount and content of drugs seized from defendant supported convictions under R.C. §§ 2925.11 and 2925.03(A).

State v. Myers, No. 87973, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, EIGHTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, CUYAHOGA COUNTY, January 25, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: A trial court erred in convicting defendant of drug possession, as the prosecution thereof was barred by the limitations period of R.C. § 2901.13(A)(1) because the State did not exhibit reasonable diligence in attempting to serve defendant where no additional efforts were made after a failed certified mail attempt.

State v. Robinson, No. 87764, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, EIGHTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, CUYAHOGA COUNTY, January 25, 2007, Released
View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court did not err when it denied defendant's motion to disclose the identity of the confidential informant. Since the detective directly witnessed the transaction, the informant's identity was not essential to establishing any element of the charges against defendant and would not have aided defendant in the preparation of his defense.

State v. Scott, Case No. 06 CA 1, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, FIFTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, MORGAN COUNTY, January 25, 2007, Date of Judgment Entry
View this case - free  

Overview: The evidence was sufficient to prove that defendant was more than just an innocent or acquiescing bystander, but instead participated as an aider and abettor of the trafficking activities at her residence, under R.C. § 2923.03(A)(2). The house was filled with drugs, money, and drug paraphernalia, most of which was found in defendant's bedroom.

View this case - free  

Overview: The trial court had jurisdiction to hold a sexual offender classification hearing for defendant as his hearing was properly held within one year of his release from prison pursuant to R.C. § 2950.09(C)(2)(a). Defendant was a sex offender who was convicted and sentenced prior to January 1, 1997, and was still in prison on or after January 1, 1997.

View this case - free  

Overview: Police officers had reasonable suspicion that defendant was involved in criminal activity, thus making their stop of defendant permissible under U.S. Const. amend. IV, as defendant's car was parked in the middle of the street, woman was screaming to officers that car belonged to her, and defendant fled from the car as officers approached the car.
