State v. Chavez

• 2020 Ohio 426

Syllabus

Defendant-appellant's felonious-assault conviction is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The State did not violate defendant-appellant's right to remain silent by addressing defendant-appellant's refusal to speak with law enforcement officers during their investigation. The trial court did not err by providing an incomplete and inaccurate self-defense jury instruction and defendant-appellant's trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to request a self-defense jury instruction and verdict form that represent correct statements of law.
