State v. Thacker

• 2020 Ohio 1318

Syllabus

Appellant's statutory and constitutional speedy trial rights were not violated where appellant was brought to trial within a year of arrest and significant periods of time were tolled due to his incompetency and his failure to retain counsel. There was no error in the denial of appellant's request for a mistrial as the late discovery of an unknown police report did not impact appellant's theory of defense or his counsel's ability to cross-examine witnesses at trial. Appellant's conviction for violating a protection order was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
