STATE v. RHODES

No. 82-128.

2 Ohio St. 3d 74 (1982)

THE STATE OF OHIO, APPELLEE, v. RHODES, APPELLANT.

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided December 22, 1982.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Mr. George E. Pattison, prosecuting attorney, and Mr. Gregory Chapman, for appellee.

Mr. Milton Berner, for appellant.


PARRINO, J.

The issue in this cause is whether the state in its prosecution of the defendant for the crime of theft of a motor vehicle in violation of R.C. 2913.02 was required to prove ownership of the vehicle in question by introduction into evidence of a certificate of title.

Appellant contends that in a prosecution for theft of a motor vehicle, R.C. 4505.04 provides the exclusive method by which ownership of that vehicle may be proved. We disagree.
