AGGRAVATED MENACING – SUFFICIENCY OF THE EVIDENCE – MANIFEST WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE – COURT COSTS – R.C. 2947.23(C): The Defendant's conviction for aggravated menacing under R.C. 2903.21 was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the victim testified that defendant threatened him with a firearm, the responding officer testified that the victim appeared to be frightened when he arrived at the scene, and defendant's testimony revealed a motive for the threat. While the court erred in failing to impose court costs at the sentencing hearing, any error was harmless because, pursuant to State v. Fissel, 1st Dist. Hamilton No. C-210483, 2022-Ohio-1856, and R.C. 2947.23(C) defendant can file a motion in the trial court for a waiver of court costs at any time.
