Syllabus

Defendant appeals murder conviction. Gruesome crime scene and autopsy photographs' probative value outweighed danger of unfair prejudice. Court did not abuse discretion in refusing self-defense. No evidence supported self-defense. Defendant denied any memory of stabbing the victim to death. No other circumstances suggested self-defense. Court erred by failing to give mandatory advisements concerning the Violent Offender Registry, as required by R.C. 2903.42(A)(1). Sentence vacated and matter remanded for resentencing.
