• 2024 Ohio 1556

Syllabus

Appeal from jury verdict finding defendant guilty of felonious assault with a law enforcement victim specification. The evidence at trial was sufficient to establish that the defendant acted with a knowing mental state, the defendant was not prejudiced by victim's testimony that he had encountered the defendant \dozens of times\ in the past as evidence was admitted without objection for a permissible purpose and admission was not plainly erroneous, and finding of guilt was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Defendant's indefinite sentence was not unconstitutional pursuant to State v. Hacker. Assignments of error overruled and judgment affirmed.
