Syllabus

Third-party complaint, jury demand, motion for new trial, manifest weight of the evidence, wrongfully imprisoned individual, R.C. 2743.48. The trial court did not err when it dismissed the state's third-party complaint against the appellee's daughter, because she does not have a legally protected interest in rights that are the subject matter of the action. The trial court did not err when it denied the state's jury demand, because the Constitution does not entitle all civil litigants to a trial by jury. The trial court did not err when it denied the state's motion for a new trial. The trial court judgment was not against the manifest weight of the evidence when it certified the appellee as a wrongfully imprisoned individual as defined by R.C. 2743.48.
