• 2021 Ohio 3870

Syllabus

The trial court did not err by denying appellant's motion to dismiss based on a violation of appellant's statutory speedy trial rights where the speedy trial time limit to bring appellant to trial was properly extended so that a necessary witness could appear at trial after that witness was not permitted by her employer to leave work to attend the trial and later showed symptoms of COVID-19, thereby preventing that witness from attending appellant's trial. Additionally, appellant's conviction for second-degree misdemeanor public indecency was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the state provided extensive evidence that appellant recklessly exposed his private parts while outside of a take-out pizzeria restaurant under circumstances when a minor would have likely viewed and been affronted by appellant's conduct.
