• 2025 Ohio 56

Syllabus

The jury's rejection of appellant's claim of self-defense was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not err in refusing to instruct the jury on the stand-your-ground law because appellant's offenses were committed before the enactment of the law, which the Ohio Supreme Court held should not be applied retroactively. The trial court erred by incorrectly calculating the amount of jail-time credit and by not considering appellant's current and future ability to pay before ordering him to pay restitution. The trial court's imposition of consecutive sentences was not clearly and convincingly unsupported by the record. Judgment affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for resentencing.
