Syllabus

Criminal law—R.C. 2945.67(A)—App.R. 5(C)—Under App.R. 5(C), in seeking leave to appeal certain trial-court decisions, the State must claim that errors occurred in trial-court proceedings and must show how likely it is that those errors did in fact occur—Court of appeals erred in denying the State leave to appeal trial court's decision granting appellee a new trial by failing to determine whether the State had demonstrated a high enough probability of trial-court error to warrant a discretionary appeal—Court of appeals' judgment reversed and cause remanded to court of appeals.
