Syllabus

Endangering children criminal damaging jurisdiction R.C. 2151.23 Confrontation Clause testimonial statement hearsay Evid.R. 803 excited utterance sufficiency Crim.R. 29 R.C. 2919.22 recklessness substantial risk R.C. 2901.01 R.C. 2909.06 manifest weight restitution R.C. 2929.18 plain error Crim.R. 52. Appellant's endangering children conviction was not void for lack of jurisdiction. The trial court did not err or abuse its discretion in admitting nontestimonial statements at trial under the excited utterance hearsay exception, and appellant was not denied his constitutional right to confrontation. Appellant's convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not commit plain error in ordering appellant to pay restitution for his criminal damaging conviction.
