Syllabus

COUNSEL – JURY INSTRUCTIONS – SELF-DEFENSE: Where defendant did not demonstrate that trial counsel's performance was deficient and that the deficient performance prejudiced the defense, defendant failed to show ineffective assistance of trial counsel. The trial court did not err in instructing the jury on self-defense where the instructions were drawn from the Ohio Jury Instructions and were correct statements of the law.
