Syllabus

Osowik - Following his conviction for aggravated murder and rape and sentence of death, defendant filed a petition for post-conviction relief, asserting 66 grounds for relief. As to many claims, the trial court failed to rule, applied the wrong legal standard or issued findings of fact and conclusions of law that lack the specificity required by R.C. 2953.21(D), any of which require their remand and, in some cases, a hearing. The trial court further erred in denying petitioner \access\ to prosecution's file materials under Crim.R. 42(C), also requiring remand.
