In re J.R.

Citations

  • 2025 Ohio 2271

Syllabus

Juvenile court complied with Juv.R. 29(D) in accepting juvenile's admission to rape with serious-youthful-offender disposition where court personally addressed juvenile, explained consequences, used age-appropriate language, and engaged beyond yes-no questions. Court need not explain specific serious-youthful-offender procedural protections. Trial counsel was not ineffective where counsel actively participated in proceedings, obtained evaluations, and made strategic decisions about presenting mitigating youth factors.
