View this case - free  

Overview: Although a trial court's imposition of a concurrent term of imprisonment on defendant's conviction for failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer, in violation of R.C. § 2921.331(B) and (C)(4), was error, an appellate court had authority under R.C. § 2953.08(G)(2)(b) to modify the sentence to reflect consecutive terms.

State v. Hagler, C.A. CASE NO. 2006 CA 30, COURT OF APPEALS OF OHIO, SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT, GREENE COUNTY, February 2, 2007, Rendered
View this case - free  

Overview: A trial court properly overruled an inmate's motion for relief from judgment pursuant to Civ. R. 60(B) and Crim. R. 57(B) with respect to his guilty plea and the sentence imposed, as Civ. R. 60(B) was clearly inapplicable, and the proper procedure for review was by a direct appeal; failure to appeal constituted a waiver of the issues.

View this case - free  

Overview: A trial court properly rejected an inmate's application for DNA testing under R.C. § 2953.72(C), as the biological material in a rape kit no longer existed, the inmate had not sought to have that evidence preserved, and there was no showing of bad faith by the State in not continuing to preserve the evidence.
