These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Wilson argues that the three counts of receiving stolen property should have been merged into a single count. This issue was considered by this court in State v. Austin (Feb. 16, 1984), Summit App. No. 11298, unreported. In that case, this court ruled that a defendant's conviction on two separate counts of receiving stolen property under R.C. 2913.51 should have been merged, stating at 3-4: m*** If [the defendant] received, retained or disposed of all the items of property at one time in a single transaction or occurrance [sic], both counts are allied offenses of similar import and should have been merged for sentencing purposes. ***.'”
