• 2025 Ohio 1079

Syllabus

Appellant has not established a due-process violation based on the State's failure to preserve bloody items recovered from the scene of the victim's kidnapping. The record does not reflect prosecutorial misconduct based on a failure to disclose the victim's cell-phone records or the identity of her cell-phone service provider. The trial court did not err in admitting testimony about the victim's bloody wallet and cell phone being found near the scene of her kidnapping. The record does not portray ineffective assistance of trial counsel. Appellant's convictions were supported by legally sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
