State v. Hornsby

• 2018 Ohio 1457

Syllabus

Defendant was properly convicted and sentenced separately for both a 2016 domestic violence offense and a 2017 felonious assault offense, even if the 2016 domestic violence offense was presumed to be included in the prior acts of violence supporting the felonious assault conviction, because the offenses were of dissimilar import as the physical harm suffered by the victim from the 2016 domestic violence offense was different in nature from the psychological injury resulting from the numerous acts of violence comprising the 2017 felonious assault offense. Defendant's aggregate 10-year prison term for domestic violence and felonious assault is neither excessive nor disproportionate to his behavior.
