State v. Quinn

• 2025 Ohio 1583

Syllabus

Per Mayle, J., State presented sufficient evidence that victim's death proximately resulted from defendant's violation of R.C. 4511.19(A). Although it was not objectively reasonable for trial counsel to stipulate to inadmissible evidence of defendant's prior convictions, defendant failed to show reasonable probability that outcome of proceedings was affected. Counsel was not ineffective for failing to request jury instruction and to object to State's isolated improper remark during closing.
