• 2017 Ohio 557

Syllabus

Judgment affirmed. The jury believed the victim's testimony, which was corroborated by other witnesses, and rejected appellant's claim of self defense. As such, appellant's convictions for felonious assault with firearm and drive-by specifications, improper handling of a firearm, and having a weapon under a disability were supported by sufficient evidence, and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. In addition, appellant cannot overcome the presumption that his counsel was effective, nor show that he was prejudiced in any manner by the actions or inactions of his counsel.
