State v. Brown

• 2017 Ohio 4231

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion for a new trial where the evidence allegedly leading to surprise was introduced at trial and was cumulative to other evidence of appellant's sexual abuse of the victim. Nor did appellant receive ineffective assistance of counsel because the result of his trial would not have been different where his counsel challenged the credibility of the victim during cross-examination.
