• 2021 Ohio 4339

Syllabus

Appellant's claim that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to move for a trial continuance lacks merit because moving for a continuance is a debatable trial strategy that will not be second-guessed on appeal. Appellant's claim that his trial counsel provided ineffective assistance by failing to file a timely jury demand also lacks merit because appellant failed to establish how counsel's alleged deficient performance prejudiced him. Appellant's claim that his right to due process was violated as a result of the State's failure to provide certain video evidence in discovery lacks merit because appellant failed to establish any resulting prejudice. Judgment affirmed.
