State v. Prater

Ohio Court of Appeals

Decided March 13, 2018No. 17AP-374PublishedCited by 6 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtBrunner, J.

{¶ 1} Defendant-appellant, Frederick A. Prater, Jr., appeals a judgment of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas entered on April 25, 2017, sentencing him to serve 23 years in prison for three counts of felonious assault, three gun specifications, and one count of weapon under disability. Because his convictions were sufficiently supported by the evidence introduced and not against the manifest weight of the evidence, because it was not necessary to merge any of the counts, and because any potential error in admitting an unclear video of the events was harmless, we affirm.
