Syllabus

Appellant's convictions on three counts of felonious assault, with attendant firearm specifications, were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in instructing the jury on the element of knowingly. Appellant's sentences on the felonious assault offenses were not contrary to law. Pursuant to State v. Beatty, 2024-Ohio-5684, only two of the three prison terms on the firearm specifications could be imposed consecutively; the imposition of the third consecutive firearm specification was contrary to law. Judgment reversed as to the third firearm specification and remanded for resentencing on that specification. In all other respects, judgment affirmed.
