Syllabus

Per Mayle, J., trial court did not err by declining to give a cautionary instruction under R.C. 2933.81(D) regarding appellant's unrecorded custodial interview. The Ohio Constitution does not require custodial interviews to be recorded. The trial court did not commit plain error by including a flight instruction or in formatting its jury instructions or verdict forms. Appellant's counsel was not ineffective. Appellant's convictions are supported by the weight of the evidence.
