• 2017 Ohio 1225

Syllabus

Where appellant inmate claimed self-defense in murder of his cellmate, trial court's incorrect instruction to jury on duty to retreat and failure to instruct on castle doctrine did not constitute plain error requiring reversal. Appellant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel failed because he did not show reasonable probability that outcome of trial would have been different if counsel had objected to instruction. Jury's verdict was not against manifest weight of evidence.
