State v. Adkins

• 2020 Ohio 3296

Syllabus

Following a bench trial, appellant was found guilty of domestic violence, menacing, and two counts of violating a protection order. Because the menacing count was merged into the domestic violence count, any insufficiency in the menacing finding was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. Counsel did not provide ineffective assistance, and the trial court's misdemeanor sentence was not an abuse of discretion. Judgment affirmed.
