Citations

  • 2018 Ohio 801

Syllabus

The trial court did not err by denying appellant's motion requesting she be appointed new counsel where the record indicates appellant was adequately represented by her appointed counsel at all times relevant. This includes appellant's appointed counsel negotiating an advantageous plea deal that ultimately resulted in appellant being sentenced to a reduced sentence of five years in prison. The trial court also did not err by sentencing appellant to serve five years in prison for involuntary manslaughter when considering the serious nature of the charges appellant faced that resulted in the loss of a person's life.
