How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

affirming *Page 7 conviction where there was no evidence that the allegedly sleeping juror missed large or critical portions of the trial
finding no plain error because defendant’s claim “rests wholly on speculation” and “it is not clear that the outcome would have been otherwise but for the error”
finding no abuse of discretion when the court denied the defendant’s request for a continuance to “prepare for trial” because “[l]ead counsel was appointed nearly two months before trial” and “co-counsel had been on the case fifteen months before trial * * *”
“Plain error exists only when it is clear that the verdict would have been otherwise but for the error.”
“The presence of a biased judge on the bench is, of course, a paradigmatic example of structural constitutional error, which if shown requires reversal without resort to harmless-error analysis”
“under Crim.R. 52[B] plain error must be ‘obvious’ as well as outcome-determinative”
