• 2024 Ohio 4622

Syllabus

Appellant's burglary and safecracking convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Trial counsel was not ineffective for not requesting a jury instruction on the lesser-included offense of attempted safecracking. The trial court erred in failing to merge the offenses of safecracking and criminal damaging as allied offenses of similar import where the offenses were committed with the same conduct and the same animus and resulted in the same harm to the same victim.
