State v. Mankin

• 2020 Ohio 5317

Syllabus

The trial court's failure to maintain with the papers of the case the original version of the written instructions taken by the jury during their retirement did not amount to reversible error, the trial court did not plainly err in instructing the jury on the lack of privilege as an element of criminal trespass, Mankin did not receive the ineffective assistance of counsel, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in refusing to give Mankin's requested instruction on necessity, and any error the trial court committed in failing to give a correct instruction on necessity amounted to harmless error.
