• 2020 Ohio 6640

Syllabus

The trial court erred by denying the first two ineffective assistance of counsel claims raised in appellant's petition for post-conviction relief without providing a sufficient explanation as to why it discounted the credibility of the testimony in appellant's supporting affidavits. The trial court also failed to address the fourth ineffective assistance claim raised in appellant's petition for post-conviction relief therefore, we are unable to review that claim on appeal. Judgment reversed and remanded for the trial court to provide a credibility determination on appellant's supporting affidavits and to address appellant's fourth ineffective assistance claim.
