Syllabus

Right to Complete Defense Crim.R. 16(B) Evid.R. 404(B) Jury Instructions Stand Your Ground R.C. 2901.09(C) Duty to Retreat Ineffective Assistance of Counsel Manifest Weight Self-Defense Mandatory Transfer Cumulative-Error Doctrine. The trial court did not violate defendant-appellant's right to present a complete defense. The trial court did not err by instructing the jury that Ohio's stand-your-ground statute did not apply to the instant case. The trial court also did not err by instructing the jury that defendant-appellant had a duty to retreat. Defendant-appellant failed to demonstrate that he received ineffective assistance of counsel. The jury's verdict that defendant-appellant did not act in self-defense or defense of another was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The adult court had subject-matter jurisdiction over all the charges filed in the complaint. Ohio's mandatory-transfer statutes do not violate defendant-appellant's right to due process. Because the trial court did not commit multiple errors at defendant-appellant's trial, the cumulative-error doctrine does not apply.
