Syllabus

Business records; detention-center recordings; authentication; Evid.R. 901; prosecutorial misconduct; prejudice; vouch for; credibility; manifest weight of the evidence. Trial court's erroneous admission of defendant's school profile record without proper authentication was harmless where the evidence contained in the record was duplicative of other evidence. Trial court's admission of detention-center phone calls into evidence was proper where the content of the phone calls was sufficient to identify the caller as the defendant. Trial court's erroneous admission into evidence of detention-center phone log was harmless where the evidence contained in the log was duplicative of other evidence. Although prosecutor inappropriately vouched for the credibility of witnesses, his misconduct did not warrant reversal where there was no evidence of prejudice. Delinquency adjudications were not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
