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

Supreme Court of Ohio.

Decided December 23, 1994.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Lynn C. Slaby, Summit County Prosecuting Attorney, and Phillip Bogdanoff, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for appellee.

David H. Bodiker, Ohio Public Defender, Jane P. Perry and Randy D. Ashburn, Assistant Public Defenders, for appellant.


A. WILLIAM SWEENEY, J.

Upon a careful and thorough review of the record in this case, we are convinced that the number of errors during the guilt phase of defendant's capital trial deprived him of his constitutional due process right to a fair trial. Therefore, for the reasons that follow, we reverse the judgment of the court of appeals upholding defendant's convictions, and remand the cause to the court of common pleas for further proceedings.
