• 2025 Ohio 1403

Syllabus

The trial court did not err by permitting Evid.R. 404(B) other-acts evidence where the identity of the perpetrator was at issue and the other-acts evidence was permissible modus operandi evidence. Appellant's convictions were supported by sufficient evidence. The jury could reasonably infer that appellant was the individual responsible without engaging in impermissible inference stacking. The trial court did not infringe on appellant's constitutional rights when it informed him that he was subject to cross-examination if he voluntarily took the stand in his own defense.
