• 2019 Ohio 2657

Syllabus

Trial court did not violate Batson in allowing state to exercise peremptory challenge to remove an African-American juror where the juror failed to honestly respond to whether he had ever been accused of a crime. Trial court did not err in not sua sponte dismissing a juror who recognized during the trial that one of the state's witnesses used to be married to her grandson. Appellant's conviction for murder not against the manifest weight of the evidence where he aided and abetted the shooter.
