vs. : OPINION ANTHONY ANTOLINI, :
Criminal Appeal From: Hamilton County Municipal Court
Judgment Appealed From Is: Affirmed

Emily Smart Woerner, City Solicitor, William T. Horsley, Chief Prosecuting Attorney, and Susan M. Zurface, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for Plaintiff-Appellee,
Raymond T. Faller, Hamilton County Public Defender, and David Hoffmann, Assistant Public Defender, for Defendant-Appellant. OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
CROUSE, Judge.
{¶1} Following a jury trial, defendant-appellant Anthony Antolini was
convicted of aggravated menacing, a first-degree misdemeanor, in violation of R.C.
2903.21. He has appealed that conviction, raising two assignments of error for our
review.
{¶2} Antolini first argues that the trial court committed plain error by failing
to instruct the jury on the definition of serious physical harm and by only providing it
with the definition of physical harm. He further argues that his conviction for
aggravated menacing was not supported by sufficient evidence and was against the
manifest weight of the evidence. Finding Antolini’s arguments to be without merit, we
affirm the trial court’s judgment.
I. Factual and Procedural History
{¶3} Complaints were filed in the Hamilton County Municipal Court
charging Antolini with domestic violence and aggravated menacing. The victim of both
offenses was his wife, M.A.
{¶4} During the jury trial, M.A. testified that she and Antolini had been
married for 18 years, and that, in October of 2023, Antolini confessed to her that he
had been “sexting” with other women and that two of the women were extorting him
for money. According to M.A., Antolini ultimately admitted to engaging in similar
behavior with approximately 20 women over the course of their marriage.
{¶5} M.A. explained that Antolini’s confession was a “turning point” that
caused her to realize that both she and Antolini were unhappy and to consider “try[ing]
something different” in their marriage. She and Antolini agreed to expand their
relationship and open it to other people, although they set stipulations on this
expansion. M.A. testified that any person welcomed into their relationship could not
3 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
be someone that she or Antolini already knew, that the relationship with the third
party was not to be physical, and that no pictures were to be exchanged.
{¶6} M.A. testified that, despite these stipulations, she took her relationship
with a third person to the “physical side.” She stated that, on March 8, 2024, Antolini
saw a text message on her phone while she was sleeping. The message was from a
“friend” with whom she was in a relationship, and it stated that he loved her. M.A.
explained that after seeing the message, Antolini turned on the lights, threw her phone
at her, and said, “I can’t believe you are doing this to me. I might as well kill you. I
should have never woken you up. I should have just shot and killed you.” After
threatening several more times to kill her and shoot her, Antolini left for work.
{¶7} M.A. testified that she initially thought Antolini was simply making
threats and would “cool down” with time. She planned to let the situation diffuse
before talking to him, and she continued to reside in the house in a separate area from
Antolini. From March 8 until March 11, 2024, Antolini continued to make threats.
These threats included statements that he would sell the house out from under her,
take all the money out of their bank account, call her boss, and kill her. Antolini never
had a weapon in his physical possession when making these threats.
{¶8} M.A. testified that she and Antolini were both at home on March 11,
2024. They tried to talk, but their discussion only resulted in more arguing. M.A.
stated that Antolini had a telephone counseling session that afternoon. She had hoped
the counseling session would calm him down, but it did not, and Antolini continued
to threaten her after the session ended. According to M.A., Antolini told her after the
session, “I should just kill you now. I should just kill. I should shoot and kill you.”
Antolini told M.A. that he saw no point in living if she was with someone else, and that
he should just kill himself. M.A. described Antolini’s tone of voice as irrational. She
4 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
testified that there were multiple guns in the house, including three guns in the living
room where they were arguing. M.A. stated that Antolini never put his hands on her
or held a gun while making threats.
{¶9} M.A. testified that she left the house, drove around for a while, and
eventually went to the police station to file a report. She stated that she did not feel
safe returning home. When asked why she had finally decided to report Antolini four
days after he had begun threatening her, M.A. stated that she had begun to believe that
Antolini would follow through on his threats after his counselor had failed to calm him
down.
{¶10} The State also presented testimony from Cincinnati Police Officer
Brennan Hiatt, who took M.A.’s statement when she arrived at the police station. Hiatt
testified that M.A. was very emotional and was crying. A portion of Hiatt’s interaction
with M.A. was captured on his body-worn camera. This video footage was admitted at
trial and played for the jury. Hiatt testified that, per department policy, he had no
discretion as to whether to file the domestic-violence charge against Antolini. He did,
however, have discretion to file the aggravated-menacing charge.
{¶11} Antolini did not present any witness or take the stand.
{¶12} Outside of the jury’s presence, Antolini and the State reviewed the jury
instructions that the trial court intended to provide. The parties discussed the fact that
the domestic-violence charge required the State to prove that M.A. faced an imminent
threat of physical harm, whereas the aggravated-menacing charge required the State
to prove that M.A. faced serious physical harm that did not have to be imminent. After
this discussion, Antolini made a Crim.R. 29 motion for an acquittal, which the trial
court denied.
{¶13} During closing argument, the State told the jury,
5 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
For the domestic violence threat, the State has to prove beyond
a reasonable doubt that on or about March 11th, which includes the days
leading up to that, in the City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County, Ohio, the
Defendant Anthony Antolini knowingly caused [M.A.], a family or
household member, to believe that he would cause her imminent
physical harm.
...
On the aggravated menacing charge, you are looking at the same
conduct and some of the elements are different.
On or about March 11th, in the City of Cincinnati, Hamilton
County, Ohio, the Defendant Anthony Antolini knowing[ly] caused
[M.A.] to believe that he would cause her serious physical harm.
The major difference here is in the serious physical harm as
opposed to imminent physical harm. Threatening to shoot someone
when you have easy access to not one, not two, but three firearms is
knowingly causing a person to believe that if you shoot them you are
going to sustain a serious injury. It’s not going to be a scratch. It’s not
going to be a bruise. It’s not going to be a nick. It’s the possibility of
being killed.
{¶14} After closing arguments, the trial court provided the jury with the
following relevant instructions:
The domestic violence charge, Case Number 24/CRB/4103(A),
the defendant is charged with domestic violence in violation of Ohio
Revised Code 2919.25(C).
Before you can find the defendant guilty, you must find beyond
6 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
a reasonable doubt that on or about the 11th day of March, 2024, in the
City of Cincinnati, State of Ohio, the Defendant Anthony Antolini did
knowingly cause or attempt to cause, by threat of force, knowingly cause
[M.A.], a family or household member, to believe the defendant would
cause imminent physical harm to the family or household member
defined in Ohio Revised Code 2919.25(C), contrary to and in violation
of Section 2919.25(C) of the Ohio Revised Code.
The defendant was also charged with aggravated menacing, Case
Number 24/CRB/4103(B). The defendant is charged with aggravated
menacing in violation of Ohio Revised Code 2903.21.
Before you can find the defendant guilty, you must find beyond
a reasonable doubt that on or about the 11th day of March, 2024, in the
City of Cincinnati, State of Ohio, the Defendant Anthony Antolini did
knowingly cause [M.A.] to believe that the defendant would cause
serious physical harm to [M.A.] contrary to and in violation of Section
2903.21 of the Ohio Revised Code.
{¶15} The trial court next provided the jury with definitions of the terms
“knowingly,” “cause,” “physical harm,” “threat of force,” “imminent,” and “reside.”
With respect to the definition of “physical harm” the trial court told the jury, “Physical
harm means any injury, illness or any psychological impairment—sorry—physiological
impairment, regardless of the gravity or duration.”
{¶16} During its deliberations, the jury sent the court a question asking, “What
defines ‘physiological impairment’ under physical harm on page 6 of the jury
instructions?” The court responded, “[R]emember the words in the English language,
whether used in this charge or in the evidence presented that you are to weigh, are to
7 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
be given normal, customary mean[ings] . . . . unless you are specifically instructed to
give them some specialized and different meaning in this charge. And this instruction
should govern[] you throughout our deliberations.”
{¶17} The jury found Antolini guilty of aggravated menacing, but it was unable
to reach a verdict on the charge of domestic violence and that charge was dismissed.
Antolini now appeals.
II. Jury Instructions
{¶18} In his first assignment of error, Antolini argues that the trial court
committed plain error by only providing the jury with an instruction on the definition
of “physical harm” and by failing to also provide it with the definition of “serious
physical harm.”
{¶19} Antolini concedes that he is limited to a plain-error review by this court
because he failed to object to the jury instructions below. See State v. Owens, 2020-
Ohio-4616, ¶ 7 (“When a defendant fails to object to the jury instructions, she waives
all but plain error.”); State v. Samueal, 2023-Ohio-3322, ¶ 25 (1st Dist.) (same). To
demonstrate plain error, an appellant must establish “that an error occurred, that the
error was obvious, and that there is a reasonable probability that the error resulted in
prejudice, meaning that the error affected the outcome of the trial.” (Cleaned up.)
State v. Chasteen, 2024-Ohio-909, ¶ 11 (1st Dist.). Even if an appellant establishes the
occurrence of such an error, the error should only be corrected where it “seriously
affects the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings” or when
necessary “to prevent a manifest miscarriage of justice.” State v. Bond, 2022-Ohio-
4150, ¶ 35.
{¶20} Generally, “‘a defendant is entitled to have the jury instructed on all
elements that must be proved to establish the crime with which he is charged.’” State
8 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
v. Wamsley, 2008-Ohio-1195, ¶ 17, quoting State v. Adams, 62 Ohio St.2d 151, 153
(1980); see also Chasteen at ¶ 18. But “the failure to instruct on each element of an
offense is not necessarily reversible as plain error,” and “an appellate court must
review the instructions as a whole and the entire record to determine whether a
manifest miscarriage of justice has occurred as a result of the error in the instructions.”
Wamsley at ¶ 17, citing Adams at paragraphs two and three of the syllabus; see
Chasteen at ¶ 18.
{¶21} Antolini was charged with both domestic violence and aggravated
menacing. The trial court first instructed the jury on the elements of each of these
offenses. With respect to the offense of domestic violence, it told the jury that it could
not find Antolini guilty of the offense unless it found that he knowingly caused, or
attempted by threat of force to cause, a family or household member, in this case M.A.,
to believe that he would cause her imminent physical harm. With respect to the offense
of aggravated menacing, the court told the jury that it could not find Antolini guilty of
this offense unless it found that he knowingly caused M.A. to believe that he would
cause her serious physical harm.
{¶22} After reading the elements of both offenses, the trial court instructed
the jury on the definitions of various terms in each offense. It defined the term
“physical harm,” which was applicable to the offense of domestic violence. But it failed
to define the term “serious physical harm,” which was applicable to the aggravated-
menacing offense.
{¶23} As the trial court instructed the jury, physical harm is “any injury,
illness, or other physiological impairment, regardless of its gravity or duration.” R.C.
2901.01(A)(3). In contrast, serious physical harm may mean any of the following:
(a) Any mental illness or condition of such gravity as would
9 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
normally require hospitalization or prolonged psychiatric treatment;
(b ) Any physical harm that carries a substantial risk of death;
(c) Any physical harm that involves some permanent incapacity,
whether partial or total, or that involves some temporary, substantial
incapacity;
(d) Any physical harm that involves some permanent
disfigurement or that involves some temporary, serious disfigurement;
(e) Any physical harm that involves acute pain of such duration
as to result in substantial suffering or that involves any degree of
prolonged or intractable pain.
R.C. 2901.01(A)(5).
{¶24} Because serious physical harm is an element of the offense of aggravated
menacing, the trial court should have defined that term for the jury and its failure to
do so was error. See Wamsley, 2008-Ohio-1195, at ¶ 17, quoting Adams, 62 Ohio St.2d
at 153 (“‘a defendant is entitled to have the jury instructed on all elements that must
be proved to establish the crime with which he is charged.’”). In order to determine if
that error warrants reversal as plain error, we must “review the instructions as a whole
and the entire record to determine whether a manifest miscarriage of justice has
occurred as a result of the error in the instructions.” Id. at ¶ 17.
{¶25} In State v. Wolford, 2007-Ohio-6428, ¶ 15 (3d Dist.), the court
confronted this same issue when it was asked to determine, in the context of an
aggravated-menacing charge, whether a trial court committed plain error by providing
the jury an instruction on physical harm rather than serious physical harm. In
Wolford, the defendant was charged with aggravated menacing after firing three
warning shots into the air when an unfamiliar vehicle pulled into his driveway and
10 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
drove towards his home and garage. Id. at ¶ 2 and 5.
{¶26} In its review of the jury instructions, the Third District first held that the
trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on serious physical harm because it was
an element of the offense that should have been defined for the jury. Id. at ¶ 20. The
court then found that this constituted plain error, stating,
Similarly, we find that the trial court’s erroneous definition of
“physical harm” rather than “serious physical harm” substantially
lowered the prosecution’s burden of proof. See Id. The term “physical
harm” refers to “any injury, illness, or other physiological impairment,
regardless of its gravity or duration.” R.C. 2901.01(A)(3), emphasis
added. However, “serious physical harm” requires a significantly more
serious injury. Accordingly, we hold that the trial court erroneously
defining “physical harm” instead of “serious physical harm” constituted
plain error.
(Emphasis in original.) Id. at ¶ 22.
{¶27} We decline to follow the reasoning in Wolford because that court did
not evaluate the evidence presented in the case to determine if the erroneous
instruction resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice. See id. Rather, the court
concluded that plain error resulted because the provision of an instruction on physical
harm rather than serious physical harm substantially lowered the State’s burden of
proof. Under the Wolford court’s analysis, plain error would result every time a trial
court issued an instruction on physical harm rather than serious physical harm. That
is not the law.
{¶28} As we evaluate the record and the instructions as a whole in this case to
determine whether a manifest miscarriage of justice resulted from the trial court’s
11 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
omission of an instruction on serious physical harm, see Wamsley, 2008-Ohio-1195,
at ¶ 17, we first note that the record contained evidence from which the jury could have
found that Antolini threatened serious physical harm against M.A.
{¶29} The evidence presented at trial established that Antolini threatened
multiple times to shoot and kill M.A. after discovering a text message on her phone
revealing that she was in a physical relationship with another person. As this court
noted in State v. Cruzbaez, 2019-Ohio-2452, ¶ 18 (1st Dist.), “[b]y its very nature,
being shot can cause serious physical harm or death.”
{¶30} Further, although the trial court did not define “serious physical harm”
for the jury, it did instruct the jury that it had to find that M.A. believed Antolini would
cause her serious physical harm. Additionally, during closing arguments, the State
highlighted the difference in its burden of proof with respect to the harm suffered by
M.A. for each charged offense. It stated, “The major difference here is in the serious
physical harm as opposed to imminent physical harm. Threatening to shoot someone
when you have easy access to not one, not two, but three firearms is knowingly causing
a person to believe that if you shoot them you are going to sustain a serious injury. It’s
not going to be a scratch.”
{¶31} On this record, we cannot hold that the trial court’s failure to instruct
the jury on the definition of serious physical harm impacted the outcome of the trial
or resulted in a manifest miscarriage of justice. See Chasteen, 2024-Ohio-909, at ¶ 11
(1st Dist.). We accordingly hold that no plain error resulted from the trial court’s
omission of a jury instruction on serious physical harm.
{¶32} We find it likely that the trial court’s omission in this case stemmed from
the order in which the jury instructions were provided. The court first instructed the
jury on the elements of the two charged offenses and then collectively defined those
12 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
elements. To prevent similar errors from occurring, it would be a better practice for
the trial court to instruct the jury on the elements of a specific offense and then provide
any necessary definitions of those elements before instructing the jury on the elements
of a second offense.
{¶33} Several provisions in the Ohio Jury Instructions touch on the order in
which jury instructions should be provided. Ohio Jury Instructions, CR § 201.01 (Rev.
Sept. 11, 2010), which sets forth a trial outline/checklist for felony cases, provides that
“[c]ommonly, final instructions are given in the following order: (1) general
instructions, (2) disputed issues instructions, and (3) deliberations instructions.”
More relevant to the scenario present in the case at bar, however, is the User’s Guide
to the Ohio Jury Instructions.
{¶34} The User’s Guide states, “When an instruction uses a term or terms that
need to be defined for a jury, a subsequent numbered section or subsection in that
instruction provides either the definition or a reference to elsewhere in OJI or in the
Ohio Revised Code where the definition to be read and submitted to the jury exists.”
Ohio Jury Instructions, Guide (Rev. Mar. 12, 2022). This statement is best understood
when considered in the context of a specific instruction that requires additional
definitions, which would include the sample instruction on aggravated menacing.
{¶35} A sample jury instruction for the offense of aggravated menacing is
found in Ohio Jury Instructions, CR § 503.21 (Rev. Oct. 14, 2023), which states, in
relevant part:
1. The defendant is charged with aggravated menacing. Before
you can find the defendant guilty of aggravated menacing, you must find
beyond a reasonable doubt that on or about the ___ day of ___, ___,
and in ___ County (other jurisdiction), Ohio, the defendant knowingly
13 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
caused (insert name of alleged victim) to believe that the defendant
would cause serious physical harm to (insert name of alleged victim)
(his/her [property] [unborn]) (a member of his/her immediate family).
2. KNOWINGLY. OJI-CR 409.11; R.C. 2901.22(B).
3. CAUSATION. OJI-CR 409.55, OJI-CR 409.56.
4. SERIOUS PHYSICAL HARM TO PERSONS. R.C. 2901.01.
(Emphasis in original.)
{¶36} Read in conjunction, the User’s Guide and the sample instruction for
aggravated menacing suggest that the best practice is for a trial court to instruct the
jury on the elements of the offense of aggravated menacing and then to immediately
provide any necessary definitions of those elements, including the element of serious
physical harm. If the elements are provided and defined simultaneously, the jury can
more accurately apply the law and avoid confusion.
{¶37} This practice is also encouraged in the User’s Guide to the Illinois
Pattern Jury Instructions. When discussing the instructions to be provided for
criminal offenses, the guide states, “Some instructions define certain words or phrases
used elsewhere in the instructions. These definitions should be given following the
instructions in which the defined word or phrase is used.” 1 Illinois Pattern Jury
Instructions, Criminal User’s Guide (2025).
{¶38} To prevent and discourage both the omission of required instructions
and jury confusion, we encourage trial courts to define the elements of a charged
offense immediately after instructing the jury on those elements.
{¶39} Having held, on the facts of this case, that no plain error resulted from
the trial court’s omission of a jury instruction on serious physical harm, we overrule
Antolini’s first assignment of error.
14 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
III. Sufficiency and Weight of the Evidence
{¶40} In his second assignment of error, Antolini argues that his conviction
for aggravated menacing was not supported by sufficient evidence and was against the
manifest weight of the evidence.
{¶41} A challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence requires us to determine
whether, “after viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the prosecution, any
rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of the crime proven
beyond a reasonable doubt.” (Cleaned up.) State v. Walker, 2016-Ohio-8295, ¶ 12. In
contrast, when this court reviews a challenge to the manifest weight of the evidence, it
must “review the entire record, weigh the evidence, consider the credibility of the
witnesses, and determine whether the trier of fact clearly lost its way and created a
manifest miscarriage of justice.” State v. Powell, 2020-Ohio-4283, ¶ 16 (1st Dist.),
citing State v. Thompkins, 1997-Ohio-52, ¶ 25.
{¶42} Antolini was found guilty of aggravated menacing in violation of R.C.
2903.21(A), which provides, “No person shall knowingly cause another to believe that
the offender will cause serious physical harm to the person or property of the other
person, the other person’s unborn, or a member of the other person’s immediate
family.”
{¶43} To sustain a conviction for aggravated menacing, “the state must show
that the victim had a subjective belief of fear of serious physical harm.” State v.
Landrum, 2016-Ohio-5666, ¶ 9 (1st Dist.). The State may do so with circumstantial
evidence. Id. The State is not required to establish “that the offender is able to carry
out the threat or even that the offender intended to carry out the threat.” State v.
Clemmons, 2020-Ohio-5394, ¶ 33 (12th Dist.).
{¶44} Antolini argues that the evidence failed to establish that M.A. believed
15 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
he would cause her serious physical harm. He contends that because he phrased his
threats conditionally, for example by stating, “I should just kill you,” or “I ought to kill
you,” and because he never said that he actually would kill M.A., the evidence showed
that he lacked an intent to shoot M.A. This argument is without merit because the State
was not required to prove that he intended to carry out the threat. Id. Rather, the
relevant issue is whether Antolini’s actions caused M.A. to believe that he would cause
her serious physical harm.
{¶45} On this point, Antolini contends that the fact that M.A. remained in the
house for four days under threat established that she did not believe he would harm
her or carry out his threats.
{¶46} In State v. Goodwin, 2006-Ohio-66 (10th Dist.), the court considered a
similar argument. The appellant in Goodwin had been convicted of aggravated
menacing and argued on appeal that the conviction was not supported by sufficient
evidence because the victim’s actions were “clearly inconsistent with her testimony
that she was in fear.” Id. at ¶ 6 and 18. In support, appellant argued that because the
victim did not immediately call the police and instead called appellant to yell at him,
she was not fearful of being harmed. Id. at ¶ 18 and 23. The court rejected this
argument, stating that the victim’s actions, “while they may appear unorthodox, do
not negate her belief that appellant was serious in his threat and that she was fearful
of appellant.” Id. at ¶ 23.
{¶47} In the case at bar, M.A. testified that she remained in the house for
approximately four days after Antolini first threatened her because she believed that
he would cool down after the situation diffused. However, on March 11, 2024, after
Antolini had a counseling session and then continued to threaten her, M.A. believed
that Antolini would follow through on his threats. At that point, she reported his
16 OHIO FIRST DISTRICT COURT OF APPEALS
behavior to the police. As in Goodwin, M.A.’s actions did not “negate her belief” that
Antolini was serious about his threat. See id. The record contains sufficient evidence
to establish that M.A. had a subjective belief of fear of serious physical harm, and we
hold that Antolini’s conviction for aggravated menacing was supported by sufficient
evidence. See Landrum, 2016-Ohio-5666, at ¶ 9 (1st Dist.); Walker, 2016-Ohio-8295,
at ¶ 12.
{¶48} The aggravated-menacing conviction was also not against the manifest
weight of the evidence. The jury was in the best position to judge the credibility of the
witnesses. State v. Shepard, 2021-Ohio-964, ¶ 62 (1st Dist.); State v. DeHass, 10 Ohio
St.2d 230 (1967), paragraph one of the syllabus. It was entitled to accept M.A.’s
explanation for why she remained in the house for three days before ultimately leaving
the home and filing a complaint against Antolini.
{¶49} The second assignment of error is overruled, and the trial court’s
judgment convicting Antolini of aggravated menacing is affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.
