Kraly v. Vannewkirkgreen1 sentence2024Thus, Pirani cannot demonstrate that he was prejudiced by the fact that defense counsel did not raise this meritless challenge at trial. {¶40} Finally, Pirani argues that we should follow the plurality opinion that decided State v. Laber, 2015-Ohio-2758 (4th Dist.) and concluded that trial counsel was ineffective, under the facts of that case, for failing to raise constitutional challenges to R.C. 2909.23.5 However, plurality opinions are not controlling law and are, therefore, of “questionable precedential value.” State v.
