Syllabus

Venue was proper in Clermont County and appellant's convictions for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity and trafficking in cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl were supported by the manifest weight of the evidence where the state demonstrated appellant was in an associated-in-fact enterprise with a group of people that had a common purpose of selling heroin, fentanyl, and cocaine for profit in Clermont County and Hamilton County. Trial counsel's cross-examination of the confidential informant did not amount to ineffective assistance of counsel where defense counsel successfully challenged the informant's credibility and recollection of events.
