• 2020 Ohio 1548

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's request to admit evidence that he agreed to take a polygraph examination where evidence regarding a polygraph examination is not admissible absent a signed agreement of the parties and approval from the trial court. Appellant's speedy trial rights were not violated where the first trial was reasonably continued because not enough potential jurors reported, and all parties agreed to the first available trial date. The trial court did not err in admitting evidence where there were applicable exceptions to the hearsay rule such as excited utterance and statements for the purpose of medical diagnosis and treatment.
