STATE V. CARLSON

— STAFF
Carlson’s convictions are supported by sufficient evidence. Further, the jury clearly found the officers’ testimony credible, and we defer to the jury’s assessment of credibility. Because the jury did not lose its way and create a manifest miscarriage of justice, Carlson’s convictions are not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence.

Ohio Ct. App. · affirmed

Whether a trial court may impose discretionary fines on an indigent defendant who claims no present or future ability to pay.
