Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the court of appeals reversing Defendant's conviction for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, in violation of Ohio Rev. Code 2923.32, holding that the State presented sufficient evidence to support Defendant's conviction.
Defendant and two codefendants were each found guilty of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, possessing cocaine, illegally manufacturing drugs, and trafficking in cocaine. Defendant appealed, arguing that insufficient evidence supported his conviction for engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity. The court of appeals agreed and reversed the conviction. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that a reasonable juror could have found beyond a reasonable doubt that Defendant participated in incidents of illegal activity that were not isolated and established a pattern of corrupt activity.
