Koehler v. Koehler
| CA2017-12-016, CA2017-12-017 | A mother and father separately appeal from the decisions of the domestic relations court which found the father in contempt for denying the mother her court-ordered parenting time with the children. The court did not abuse its discretion in finding that the father was not in contempt of court when he initially denied mother her parenting time based on his reasonable concern, at the time, for the children's safety. However, the father merited a contempt finding when he continued to deny the mother her parenting time after the children's guardian ad litem and a psychologist recommended the mother's parenting time be resumed. | Piper | Brown |

Batty v. Batty
| CA2017-10-151 | Trial court's failure to rule on father's objections to 18 of magistrate's findings of fact was error. Trial court's order requiring father to forward "all emails and texts received from all sources that relate to the child" is vague and overbroad and lacks the specificity required for the parties to adequately determine their rights and obligations. | M.

State v. Brown
| CA2018-05-027 | The trial court did not err by failing to dismiss the charges brought against appellant where appellant was brought to trial within the state's speedy trial timetable. The trial court also did not err by failing to instruct the jury on any lesser included offenses to aggravated robbery, such as theft, where the failure to request such an instruction was a matter of trial strategy to defend against the serious charges against him. The trial court's decision to sentence appellant to a six-year prison term was proper where the trial court properly considered the necessary sentencing statutes and imposed a sentence that was within the permissible statutory range commiserate with the five and eight-year prison terms the trial court imposed on appellant's two accomplices. | S.

State v. Lark
| CA2018-03-004 | The trial court did not err in excluding a written statement from being introduced into evidence under Evid.R. 804(D)(3), as appellant failed to demonstrate that the author of the statement was unavailable as a witness, as contemplated by Evid.R. 804(A)(5). Furthermore, appellants convictions for aggravated possession of methamphetamine, aggravated possession of fentanyl, and possession of cocaine were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. | Hendrickson | Fayette |
