• 2019 Ohio 5140

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by overruling appellant's multiple petitions for post-conviction relief. The claims raised in appellant's petitions were either not supported by credible affidavits or any evidentiary documents that established substantive grounds for relief or they were otherwise barred by the doctrine of res judicata. The trial court also did not abuse its discretion by overruling appellant's motion for new trial, as the motion was untimely and appellant failed to establish that he was unavoidably prevented from timely filing the motion. Judgment affirmed.
