• 2017 Ohio 4228

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's motion for new counsel where there was no indication that appellant's communication with his counsel had broken down, or that there was an irreconcilable conflict between the two. The trial court's instructions were sufficient where the court instructed the jury not to consider that the victim's house caught on fire except for proper context of how events occurred on the night appellant was arrested. Appellant did not receive ineffective assistance of counsel where no act by counsel was deficient and no prejudice resulted.
