• 2025 Ohio 2771

Syllabus

Aggravated murder; felonious assault; Confrontation Clause; personal knowledge; hearsay; limiting instructions; Evid.R. 105; gruesome photographs; sufficient evidence; aggravated burglary; manifest weight of the evidence. Affirmed. The appellant's evidentiary arguments are without merit because the trial court provided a limiting instruction to focus the jury's attention on the admissible aspects of testimony presented at trial; the appellant failed to demonstrate that the post-mortem photos of the victims were unduly prejudicial based on the \gruesome\ depictions; and the convictions were not against the weight of the evidence or based on insufficient evidence.
