Ohio Court of Appeals February 7, 2002, No. 79208. (State v. Howard, Unpublished Decision (2-7-2002))

JOURNAL ENTRY AND OPINION Appellant, Isaac Howard (Howard), appeals his two convictions for the attempted murders of Valerie Merriweather (Merriweather) and Charletta Norton (Norton). In his two assignments of error, Howard claims that the trial court erred in (1) refusing to instruct the jury on Howard's claim of self-defense; and (2) imposing maximum and consecutive sentences.
