• 2026 Ohio 1788

Syllabus

Appellant's convictions for arson were supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to request and pursue an accident jury instruction, which was a matter of trial strategy. The trial court did not commit plain error by failing to give an accident instruction when defense counsel invited any alleged error by requesting that the instruction not be given. Judgment affirmed.
