• 2022 Ohio 2529

Syllabus

Appellant's convictions for felony murder and felonious assault were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the state presented ample evidence that appellant knowingly fired several gunshots into a group of people without justification. Furthermore, The trial court did not err by not instructing the jury on the offense of voluntary manslaughter where the record reflects that appellant's counsel requested that the instruction be removed based upon reasonable trial strategy and also because the instruction would have been improper.
