State v. Cansler

• 2025 Ohio 2558

Syllabus

Defendant's conviction for murder was not against the manifest weight of the evidence despite being proven by mostly circumstantial evidence. Furthermore, the defendant did not receive ineffective assistance when trial counsel allowed for a possible murder weapon with indirect ties to the defendant to be admitted into evidence because doing so was part of a defense strategy/argument that the State was \reaching\ to meet its burden of proof.
