State v. Jones
Citations
- 2025 Ohio 168
Syllabus
Manifest weight; self-defense. Judgment affirmed. The State proved beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant was at fault in creating the affray and did not have reasonable grounds to believe or an honest belief that he was in imminent danger of bodily harm. Therefore, appellant did not act in self-defense. Accordingly, appellant's convictions for felony-murder, felonious assault, and discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises were not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
