• 2025 Ohio 166

Syllabus

Manifest weight; sufficiency; self-defense. State met its burden of production refuting appellant's claim of self-defense where the evidence established that appellant instigated the situation that led to the assaults. Appellant's conviction for attempted felonious assault was supported by sufficient evidence where the record established that he knowingly hit the victim and the harm she sustained was reasonably foreseeable. Appellant's convictions for assault and attempted felonious assault were supported by the weight of the evidence where it was undisputed that appellant hit both victims and that the second victim lost consciousness after being hit.
