“1. Whether the statutory inference provided in R.C. 2907.322(B)(3) renders R.C. 2907.322(A)(5) unconstitutionally overbroad in light of the decision announced in Ashcroft v. The Free Speech Coalition [(2002), 535 U.S. 234]?

“2. Whether R.C. 2907.323(A)(3)’s culpable mental state of recklessness renders this section of the statute unconstitutionally overbroad in light of the decision announced in Ashcroft v. The Free Speech Coalition?”
