• 2024 Ohio 1669

Syllabus

In a prosecution of appellant for violating an order of protection, the trial court did not commit plain error by permitting the State to provide basic facts of the case to the venire because no jury indoctrination occurred. Other acts evidence and opinion testimony as to witness credibility was admissible because defense counsel's cross-examination of the State's witnesses opened the door to this evidence. Defense counsel did not provide deficient performance under Strickland. Appellant was not denied a fair trial due to cumulative error. Judgment affirmed.
