2007The Supreme Court had held in Ohio v. Roberts (1980), 448 U.S. 56, 66 , 100 S.Ct. 2531 , 65 L.Ed.2d 597 , that an unavailable witness’s out-of-court statement against a criminal defendant was not 11 SUPREME COURT OF OHIO barred by the Confrontation Clause if it bore adequate “indicia of reliability,” i.e., if it fell within a “firmly rooted hearsay exception,” or it bore “particularized guarantees of trustworthiness.” The DNA reports in this case, as Evid.R. 803(6) business records, satisfy the Roberts test. {¶ 41} However, Crawford overruled Roberts by establishing in its place a new and very

2024An alternate juror was seated, and the court again provided a curative instruction. {¶66} This case is similar to State v. Solomon, 2021-Ohio-940 (8th Dist.), a matter upon which the State relied in opposing Roberts’ motion for a mistrial.

2024Franklin, 62 Ohio St.3d at 127 . {¶70} Given the dearth of evidence and argumentation that Roberts was prejudiced or suffered some form of unfairness in the trial court’s ruling, we conclude the court did not abuse its discretion in denying Roberts’ motion for a mistrial. {¶71} Roberts’ third assignment of error lacks merit. {¶72} Roberts’ fourth assignment of error asserts: {¶73} “Appellant’s sentence is contrary to law because the record does not clearly and convincingly support consecutive sentences.” {¶74} Under Roberts’ fourth assignment of error, he asserts the trial court committed erro

2013In Roberts I, we considered and rejected Roberts’s claim that the waiver was invalid, 110 Ohio St.3d 71 , 2006-Ohio-3665 , 850 N.E.2d 1168, at ¶ 132-145 , and her claim that she did not receive effective assistance of counsel in connection with the waiver, id. at ¶ 146-148. 14 January Term, 2013 admitting proffered mitigation involving events that took place before trial is, if anything, weaker than the case for admitting posttrial prison records. {¶ 50} For all of the foregoing reasons, we overrule Roberts’s first proposition of law.

2007In this respect, the case before us is similar to a case Roberts cites — Newman v. Al Castrucci Ford Sales (1988), 54 Ohio App.3d 166 , in which the court notes, at footnote 1, on p. 169, that if it had reversed the summary judgment that was pending on appeal (as we did in the case before us), then there would have been a possible basis for reversal of the order that the trial court entered while the appeal from the summary judgment was pending, "but our power to review the summary judgment still would not be affected."
