State v. Haley

• 2024 Ohio 2303

Syllabus

Defendant appeals convictions for murder and felonious assault. The jury did not lose its way in finding that the state disproved the defendant's claim of self-defense. The evidence established that defendant was at all times the aggressor in the interaction with the victim and lacked a reasonable belief that deadly force was necessary. No prosecutorial misconduct where comments during closing argument were fair comment on evidence at trial.
