Heading: Identity of the Defendant

Text: The Defendant/Appellant in the case sub judice is James Lee Handley. The evidence of prior convictions contained references to a James L. Handley, James A. Handley, and James Handley. The trial court responded to these inconsistencies: I want the record, too, to reflect that in this pen packet there are inconsistencies and incongruities that ought to have been resolved before this packet left Ohio. To give Mr. Cox a packet like this and expect him to use it to its maximum is an imposition on Mr. Cox or any other prosecutor, and I refer specifically to the identification in some of this correspondence of this defendant as Mr. James A. Handley when, in fact, he's James Lee Handley. I resolve that in my own mind because his Ohio Department of Corrections serial number seems to be the same and his date of birth seems to be the same throughout. We find, based on the foregoing, that all of the Phillips factors were met in the case sub judice and, therefore, this argument has no merit.
