Dissenting Opinion

H. Brown, J.,

dissenting. I believe that on the record ‍​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‍in this case, our holding in State v. Gaines (1989), 46 Ohio St. 3d 65, 545 N.E. 2d 68, is applicable. Accordingly, I would reverse.

Sweeney, J., concurs in the foregoing dissenting opinion.
