State v. Haney, Unpublished Decision (9-8-2006)

OPINION

{¶ 1} Defendant-appellant Jeffrey Haney, II appeals the decision of Mahoning County Court No. 4., finding him guilty of petty theft, a violation of R.C. 2913.02. Two issues are raised in this appeal. The first is whether his conviction is against the manifest weight of the evidence and whether the conviction is supported by sufficient evidence. The second issue is whether the trial court improperly relied on a patrolman's opinion as to whether Haney was guilty of petty theft when it determined guilt. For the reasons stated below, the judgment of the trial court is hereby affirmed.
