• 2022 Ohio 1964

Syllabus

Following a jury trial, appellant was convicted of murder, felonious assault, and numerous other offenses. The trial court did not err by failing to instruct the jury on the inferior offenses of aggravated assault and voluntary manslaughter or on the lesser-included offense of involuntary manslaughter. The convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The record does not support appellant's claims of ineffective assistance of counsel. Judgment affirmed.
