• State v. Hipshire, (Ohio 2011)

The trial court erred in refusing to instruct the jury on Reckless Homicide. Reckless Homicide is a lesser-included offense of Involuntary Manslaughter. Construing the evidence in a light most favorable to the defendant, a jury could reasonably conclude that the defendant was not guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter, but was guilty of Reckless Homicide. Judgment of conviction and sentence for that offense is Reversed, conviction and sentence for Knowingly Failing to Provide for a Functionally Impaired Person is Affirmed, and cause is Remanded for further proceedings.

• State v. Hendrickson, (Ohio 2003)

The trial court did not err in sentencing the defendant on both involuntary manslaughter and aggravated vehicular homicide charges, even though the defendant’s actions caused the death of only one victim. Specifically, these crimes are not allied offenses of similar import under the abstract comparison required by State v. Rance, 85 Ohio St.3d 632, 1999-Ohio-291. Although abstractly comparing statutory elements can lead to illogical results, lower courts must follow the law established by the Ohio Supreme Court. Judgment affirmed.
