• 2020 Ohio 6799

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in its determination that the defendant-appellant was competent to stand trial. The trial court did not err by instructing the jury that the defendant-appellant had the burden of proving self-defense where his offenses occurred prior to the implementation of the amendments to Ohio's new self-defense law under R.C. 2901.05 and his trial was held after the amendments became effective. Defendant-appellant's murder conviction is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
