Citations

  • 2025 Ohio 2732

Syllabus

Pre-indictment delay; ineffective assistance of counsel; manifest weight of the evidence. Trial court did not err in finding no actual prejudice due to pre-indictment delay when appellant provided no specific claims of prejudice. Counsel was not ineffective for not providing evidence of prejudice resulting from delay when appellant points to no specific instances of prejudice. Verdict that appellant was guilty of involuntary manslaughter is not against the manifest weight of the evidence when the testimony shows defendant sold the victim the drugs which resulted in her death.
