State v. Bierma
Citations
- 2024 Ohio 2089
Syllabus
Appellant's aggravated burglary and felony murder offenses were dissimilar in import because they resulted in separate, identifiable harms and were also committed separately. Accordingly, those offenses were not allied offenses that should have been merged at sentencing. The trial court's conclusion that the State had satisfied its burden to disprove appellant's self-defense claim beyond a reasonable doubt was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed. (Tucker, J., concurring.)
