Burchfield (1993), 66 Ohio St.3d 261, 263 , 611 N.E.2d 819 , we have stated, “The use of that instruction, however, does not require reversal where the instructions as a whole make clear that the jury must find

1999Defendant relies on Jacks , supra to support his assertion that the causation instruction given in this murder case erroneously applied the negligence standard rather than the requirement of specific intent.
