• 2017 Ohio 420

Syllabus

Appellant's convictions for involuntary manslaughter and corrupting another with drugs were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant provided a controlled substance to the victim, the victim injected the substance, and the victim died after overdosing on the substance. Trial counsel did not provide ineffective assistance when it elected not to file a motion to suppress appellant's statements to law enforcement, as the record demonstrated appellant's statements were voluntarily made and occurred after appellant knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily waived his Miranda rights.
