1998The Kerans court explained the rationale for its holding by observing: “[T]his court has never applied [the employer-intentional-tort analysis] to purely emotional injuries which have psychological, but no physical, consequences. * * * [The tort of sexual harassment] .was not under consideration when the test was formulated. * * * [T]here is no legitimate policy reason for subjecting a plaintiff who experiences sexual harassment in the workplace to * * * heightened intent standards * * Kerans v. Porter Paint Co., 61 Ohio St.3d at 495 , 575 N.E.2d at 435 .

2026This relates to the fifth and sixth Petro factors, which require that the new evidence “is not merely cumulative to former evidence” and “does not merely impeach or contradict the former evidence.” Petro, 148 Ohio St. at 505 . {¶ 79} In this regard, the State notes that Myers’ motion for leave was based only on the DNA evidence (from the rock and the spike), and the court’s leave decision granted the motion for leave only on that basis.

2021The supreme court rejected Myers' claim on the ground that "nothing in the record shows what such expert would have said in the penalty phase[.] Thus, Myers has not demonstrated prejudice from missing such testimony." Id.

2018Furthermore, counsel did not object to the court's handling of the situation. {¶ 92} "It is a basic due process right and indeed essential to a fair trial that a defense counsel be afforded the reasonable opportunity to prepare his case." State v. Sowders , 4 Ohio St.3d 143 , 144, 447 N.E.2d 118 (1983).

2018In his seventh proposition of *1166 law, Myers contends that the trial court erred by denying the motion. {¶ 95} "[D]ue process may require that a defendant be provided * * * expert assistance when necessary to present an adequate defense." State v. Mason , 82 Ohio St.3d 144 , 149, 694 N.E.2d 932 (1998).

2018State v. Vrabel , 99 Ohio St.3d 184 , 2003-Ohio-3193 , 790 N.E.2d 303 , ¶ 69. {¶ 127} Aside from a statement in his brief that the photographs were "repetitious and gruesome" and "inflamed the jury's emotions and distracted them from reviewing contested issues," Myers offers no analysis to show which photographs were repetitive, why their prejudicial effect outweighs their probative value, or how they constitute plain error. {¶ 128} A transcript citation in Myers's brief indicates that he is challenging the autopsy photographs used during the deputy coroner's testimony.

2009"When a trial court fails to rule upon a motion, it will be presumed that it was overruled." Georgeoff v. O'Brien (1995), 105 Ohio App.3d 373 , 378 .

2009No. 07CA0025, 2008-Ohio-1774 , Myers' motion for resentencing must be construed as a petition for post-conviction relief.

2004We will now determine whether the court's denial of Myers' motion for acquittal was proper. {¶ 25} When reviewing the denial of a Crim.R. 29(A) motion for judgment of acquittal, an appellate court must evaluate whether, "the evidence is such that reasonable minds can reach different conclusions as to whether each material element of a crime has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt." See State v. Bridgeman (1978), 55 Ohio St.2d 261 , syllabus.

2002Consequently, regardless of the content of Gibbs' complaint, we find the trial court did not err by dismissing Gibbs' improper pleading. {¶ 31} For his second and final assignment of error, Gibbs alleges: {¶ 32} "The trial court erred as a matter of law in not holding that O.A.C. 4123-3-24 interferes with the Ohio Supreme Court's Exclusive Jurisdiction over the practice of law, and the governance of Ohio attorneys, and is therefore unconstitutional under section 2 (B)( 1 )(g), Article IV , Ohio Constitution." {¶ 33} In response to the trial court's request for arguments in opposition to Myers'

1999Also under the claim of prosecutorial misconduct, Myers complains that his constitutional right to a speedy trial under Article I , Section 10 of the Ohio Constitution was violated by that same "pre-indictment delay." In State v. Meeker (1971), 26 Ohio St.2d 9 , the Ohio Supreme Court held that the right to a speedy trial set forth in the Ohio Constitution includes and prohibits unjustifiable pre-indictment delay.
