State v. Wallace
| CA2017-09-011; CA2017-11-014 | The trial court did not err in admitting into evidence recorded interviews the victims made to appellant's trial counsel, as the recordings were relevant and necessary to explain the events surrounding the victims' recantations. Admission of the evidence did not violate appellant's constitutional rights under the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution or Section 10, Article I of the Ohio Constitution or his rights under Crim.R. 16. Furthermore, appellant's claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was without merit where appellant failed to show that certain jurors were actually biased against him or were in need of being rehabilitated before being seated on the jury | Hendrickson | Brown |

In re Estate of Brate
| CA2017-09-133 | An executrix appeals from the probate court's decision finding her transfer of estate property fraudulent.

In re Guardianship of Bernie
| CA2018-01-005 | The probate court made proper findings of facts and conclusions of law where this court was able to make a meaningful review of the court's decision.

| CA2018-08-157 | The trial court did not err by granting appellees' motion to dismiss appellant's complaint pursuant to Civ.R. 12(B)(6) upon finding appellant's claims alleging fraud and wrongful execution was an impermissible collateral attack on a foreign judgment initiated through a separate lawsuit rather than through proceedings regarding the domestication of the foreign judgment. | S.

State v. Wilson
| CA2018-03-022 | Voluntary manslaughter jury instruction that begins with "the defendant claims that at the time of the offense" did not identify the defendant as the party who requested the instruction and did not indicate in any respect that the instruction was requested by the defendant. Lead detective's testimony as to whether the defendant was truthful and made sense during his interview did not relate to the defendant's truthfulness but to whether the defendant's statements were consistent with the evidence uncovered by the police investigation. The trial court did not err in not merging the offenses of murder and improperly discharging a firearm into a habitation at sentencing where the offenses involved separate victims, and each offense caused a "separate, identifiable harm." | M. Powell | Warren |
