• 2024 Ohio 1338

Syllabus

Trial court erred when it refused to instruct the jury on the lesser-included offense of reckless assault and convicted appellant of felonious assault of a peace officer because the evidence, when construed in appellant's favor, permitted a reasonable trier of fact to find that appellant acted recklessly rather than knowingly. Judgment reversed and case remanded for a new trial.
