{¶ 31} I concur in the majority's judgment and most of its opinion. I write separately to note my continuing belief that the language the majority has quoted in paragraph four of its opinion from State v.Patel, 9th Dist. No. 24030, 2008-Ohio-4693, at ¶ 8, is not a correct statement of the law. As I said in my concurring opinion inPatel, I do not believe a trial court has discretion to receive hearsay into evidence. Id. at ¶ 58 (Dickinson, J., concurring). *Page 1
