Syllabus

INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL — DISCRETIONARY BINDOVER — AMENABILITY: Trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to seek a second opinion on defendant's amenability to rehabilitation within the juvenile system where defendant could not demonstrate that the result of the amenability proceeding was unreliable. The juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in determining that defendant was not amenable to rehabilitation in the juvenile system where the court properly weighed the relevant factors under R.C. 2152.12(D) and (E).
