State v. Lashley

Citations

  • 2023 Ohio 526

Syllabus

Arson violating a protection order manifest weight fire vehicles eyewitness identification testimony credible. Affirmed. Appellant's convictions for arson and violating a protection order, which arose from an incident where the victim's vehicles were intentionally set on fire while a protection order was in place, were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Credible eyewitness identification testimony from the victim along with other testimony and evidence consistent therewith were enough to withstand the manifest-weight challenge in favor of conviction.
