Carcorp, Inc. v. Chesrown Oldsmobile-GMC Truck, Inc., No. 06AP-329, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, TENTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, January 30, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: It was error to grant summary judgment as to breach of contract because the summary judgment motion did not raise that claim, so the motion's opponent could not respond to that issue. Summary judgment as to promissory estoppel was proper as the parties only agreed to pursue a formal contract, so any reliance on their statements was unreasonable.

View this case - free  

Overview: A parade watcher did not prove a security officer or her supervisor defamed him because he did not show their statements were made with actual malice, as the watcher was a limited-purpose public figure, the officer believed the watcher splashed her with gasoline, and the supervisor had no reason to think the officer's statements to him were false.

State v. Calderon, No. 05AP-1151, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, TENTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, January 30, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's murder conviction under R.C. § 2903.02(A) was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. It was reasonable to find that defendant acted purposely, and that his specific intention was to cause the victim's death. Defendant failed to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that he acted in self-defense, under R.C. § 2901.05(A).

State v. Cham, Nos. 05AP-1288, 06AP-182, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, TENTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, January 30, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was not entitled to a new trial, under Crim. R. 33(A), due to admitting dog-sniffing evidence, because technically incorrect testimony that a dog was trained to find narcotics was not prejudicial, the dog alerted to defendant's money used to pay for a crate containing marijuana, not defendant, and other factors made the crate suspicious.

State v. Henderson, No. 06AP-645, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, TENTH APPELLATE DISTRICT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, January 30, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant's post-Foster sentence was no ex post facto law because he knew his crimes' sentencing range, which Foster did not alter, when committing them. Retroactively applying judicially reconstructed sentencing statutes did not offend R.C. § 2901.04(A)'s lenity rule by imposing the least lenient construction because the statutes were unambiguous.
