STATE v. COOMBS

No. 84-1075.

18 Ohio St. 3d 123 (1985)

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

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided July 3, 1985.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Arthur M. Ney, Jr., prosecuting attorney, and Paul R. Markgraf, for appellant.

James N. Perry, for appellee.


Per Curiam.

The sole question before this court is whether the trial court, as trier of fact, erred in failing to find defendant not guilty by reason of insanity. The court of appeals held that the lower court did so err. We reverse.

The standard for demonstrating legal insanity in a criminal case was enunciated in State v. Staten (1969), 18 Ohio St.2d 13
