Syllabus

Aggravated menacing R.C. 2903.21(A) sufficiency of the evidence knowingly. Evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for aggravated menacing in violation of R.C. 2903.21(A) because viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the city, a rational trier of fact could have found the essential elements of aggravated menacing proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Trial judge's comments, when explaining the reasoning behind its verdict, relating to his uncertainty regarding defendant's mens rea did not preclude a guilty verdict.
