• 2026 Ohio 1291

Syllabus

Judgment affirmed. Because the evidence demonstrated appellant failed to pay any of his court-ordered child support during the relevant timeframe, both sufficient evidence and the manifest weight of the evidence supported appellant's conviction for nonsupport of dependents under R.C. 2919.21(B). Appellant failed to demonstrate the jury instructions amounted to plain error, the prosecutor committed prosecutorial misconduct, or that his trial counsel rendered constitutionally ineffective assistance.
