Syllabus

State's failure to preserve recording of interview of juvenile amounted to bad faith requiring exclusion of testimony as to statements made during the interview. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding log of victim's Skype messages because the log was offered for the first time before being properly authenticated, and was offered for the second time during the testimony of a witness through whom hearsay objections could not be overcome.
