Syllabus

Criminal—Search/Seizure—Ineffective Assistance. The trial court did not err when it denied a motion to suppress evidence seized from a pat-down search for weapons. The officer had probable cause based on the totality of the circumstances to show it was immediately apparent the evidence was contraband. Further, appellant failed to prove that she received ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to request a waiver of court costs. Appellant could not demonstrate prejudice because R.C. 2947.23(C) allows a defendant to request the court waive or modify costs any time after sentencing.
