• 2022 Ohio 1692

Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for domestic violence was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the victim had blood on his lip and shirt and told the responding police officer that the blood was the result of being hit by appellant, who was his girlfriend and lived with him. The trial court's decision to allow the State to treat the victim as a hostile witness was not reversible error where appellant failed to show any prejudice resulting therefrom. Appellant failed to demonstrate ineffective assistance of counsel. Judgment affirmed.
