State v. Stapleton

• 2023 Ohio 3085

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion to suppress the statements he made to the police. Appellant's waiver of his Miranda rights was knowing, intelligent, and voluntary. Appellant's claim that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to seek a competency evaluation relies on evidence outside the record and is not cognizable on direct appeal. Judgment affirmed.
