Case State of Ohio v. Adreyanna Estill Court Ohio Court of Appeals, First District (Hamilton County) Date Decided June 5,

The First District affirmed a conviction for violating a civil stalking protection order where the defendant contacted the protected party through a fake Facebook account, holding that the victim’s identification of the account was sufficient evidence.
The First District affirmed a $387 restitution order in a criminal damaging case where the crime victim, invoking Marsy’s Law rights, challenged the amount but failed to file a trial transcript, requiring the court to presume regularity of the proceedings.
The First District affirmed a juvenile delinquency adjudication for felonious assault, holding that FaceTime-based identification combined with social media confirmation was sufficient and that DYS commitment was appropriate for a first-time offender who fired a gun at a victim.
The First District affirmed an OVI conviction, holding that probable cause to arrest does not require completed standardized field sobriety tests when the totality of officer observations supports impairment.
