State v. Richey
73 Ohio St. 3d 523 | Ohio | 1995
Lead Opinion
We affirm the decision of the court of appeals for the reasons stated in its opinion. Further, we reject appellant’s additional propositions of law XXIII through XXV, asserting appellant was denied the effective assistance of counsel before this court in his application for rehearing. Appellant’s 1992 appeal to this court was not a first appeal as of right; therefore, he had no constitutional right to counsel, and hence no constitutional right to effective assistance of counsel. See State v. Buell (1994), 70 Ohio St.3d 1211, 639 N.E.2d 110.
Judgment affirmed.
Dissenting Opinion
dissenting. I dissent for several reasons, most of which are included within Justice Herbert R. Brown’s dissent in State v. Richey (1992), 64 Ohio St.3d 353, 373. 595 N.E.2d 915, 931.
