Defendant's prior criminal record

For the rape trial that continues today, I've put together much of the defendant's prior record.

I think this includes most of the convictions, though it doesn't include arrests (and a few dismissed charges, e.g. thefts where it seems the witnesses did not show up) not counted. There were 53 items in the Hamilton County record (on 5/24/19).

The record shows an effort at alternative sentencing and "theft school" in 2003, with several years of incarceration starting in 2009.

The initial set of alleged rapes were perpetrated shortly after he was released from prison, in 2012. He briefly alluded to his time in prison in his testimony, day 4.

I need to ask more about his current status. He's in jail, due to a prior conviction, but they set bail in anticipation of ending his current sentence.

Emotions and testimony If there's a "typical" rape trial, are victims steered to testify about the pain and feelings that they experienced? Or do prosecutors tend to downplay the emotional aspects? I'm observing a trial in Cincinnati. The victims were minors, ages 7-10 at the time, 2 girls and 2 boys. In their testimony, they said little about their emotions -- and the prosecutor didn't asked them about it IIRC. Perhaps with an adult victim of rape, the prosecutor has to show a lack of consent and thus might focus more on emotional and physical pain? Whereas when the victims are children, would the prosecution downplay emotions because they assume that jurors would imagine the worse, or would already see rape of children as intrinsically monstrous enough? Or because they want to (appear to) protect the survivors' from undue trauma? Or because a child's capability to testify is fragile, so they keep to the basic observable facts? We...
Second day of a rape trial.  Today (Tuesday) the trial centered on the testimony of two (alleged) victims from 2012 and two from 2018. They were all minors at the time, one is now about 18 years old. After yesterday, a big difference was that the defendant, still representing himself, questioned each witness. At least three were highly effective witnesses. They were consistent, calm, clear, and... under cross-examination, they spoke directly to the defendant, didn't flinch, and accused him of sexual abuse and violence. One witness was especially riveting and even inspiring, in her courage and power to confront him. I believe that they way he did the questioning, though rather restrained and conversational at times, can only undermine his defense. For instance, he put himself into their narratives, which they repeated thru their answers, and they stood up to his challenges. (An 11 year old was somewhat less effective, possibly confused by the sometimes repetitive...
Third day of a rape trial. Yesterday the 4 victims testified. Today, the jury heard from social workers who had done forensic interviews with them at various times. The rapes were report in both Hamilton County (2 girls) and Cincinnati (2 boys) police jurisdictions. The detective for the former testified today, but the detective for the latter will take the stand on Friday, when the trial resumes. Learned some remarkable aspects of the case. 1. When the Cincy detective approached the defendant about the 2018 accusations, the guy sorta got on his high horse and told her (in effect), why are you bothering me again, "I already went thru this before and I was cleared. So, did she only learn of the 2012 case from the flip attitude of the accused!? Note: At the end of the 4th day, I asked the Cincinnati detective how she learned about the 2012 case, She said that it showed up in a records search because CPD has referred the case to Colerain (i.e., Hamilton County)....
