2019See State v. Smith, 117 Ohio St.3d 447 , 2008- Ohio-1260, paragraph one of the syllabus, modifying Deem (holding that when a statute sets forth mutually exclusive ways of committing the greater offense, a court is required to apply the second part of the statutory elements test separately to each alternate method of committing the greater offense).
