PHH Mtge. Corp. v. Messersmith
| CA2018-05-057 | Although the trial court did not err in granting summary judgment when it concluded that R.C. 5312.13 provided statutory authority for the award of attorney fees for a homeowner's violation of a covenant to pay monthly association fees to a homeowner's association, the trial court nonetheless erred in awarding attorney fees where there remained issues of fact as to whether the services performed by the association's attorneys were necessary to resolve the disputed claims and whether the Association or its attorneys failure to communicate with the homeowner caused additional and unnecessary legal expenses to be expended. | Hendrickson | Warren |

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 |
