Comm. | 2022-1187 | Workers’ compensation—Violation of specific safety requirements—Ohio Adm.Code 4123:1-5-11(D)(10)(a) —Industrial Commission did not abuse its discretion in denying additional award—Record contained some evidence supporting commission’s findings that modified nip-point guard provided reasonable protection to employees and that employer had no forewarning of increased risk of injury or malfunction due to prior failure of modified nip-point guard—Court of appeals’ judgment denying writ of mandamus affirmed. | Per Curiam | Slip Opinion No. 2023-Ohio-3559 |
| State v. Toran | 2022-1203 | Criminal law—Fourth Amendment to United States Constitution—Warrantless searches—Inventory searches—Government’s failure to submit copy of written inventory-search procedure into evidence in support of warrantless inventory search does not render search per se unreasonable—Law-enforcement officer’s testimony attributing inventory-search policy to law-enforcement agency that conducted inventory search, explaining when policy must be followed, and explaining whether policy was followed, combined with body-camera footage documenting search, is sufficient evidence to establish existence of such procedure, that officer who conducted search acted in accordance with policy, and that search was reasonable, and therefore lawful, under Fourth Amendment—Court of appeals’ judgment reversed and convictions reinstated. | Kennedy, C.J. | Slip Opinion No. 2023-Ohio-3564 |
