State v. Fisk

• 2021 Ohio 1973

Syllabus

The trial court abused its discretion in appellant's trial for attempted murder and felonious assault when it disallowed evidence of the victim's alleged past violent acts that could have supported appellant's self-defense claim. The error was harmless, however, because the evidence clearly demonstrated that appellant's attack was not in self-defense. As to the State's cross-appeal, the State did not have standing to challenge the trial court's failure to award restitution. Judgment affirmed. (Tucker, P.J., concurring.)
