Syllabus

PRETRIAL BAIL – R.C. 2937.222: Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant pretrial bail pursuant to R.C. 2937.222(B) because evidence presented at hearing—including surveillance video showing defendant shoot at a group of people, striking three and killing two, and detective testimony about defendant threatening another person at gunpoint and fleeing the state—clearly and convincingly showed defendant posed a substantial risk of causing future serious physical harm to a person or the community and that no release conditions would reasonably assure the community's safety. Judgment affirmed.
