Syllabus

Felonious assault; R.C. 2903.11(A)(1); domestic violence; R.C. 2919.25(A); self-defense; manifest weight; mistrial; Evid.R. 902(11). Defendant's convictions were affirmed. The State met its burden of disproving that the defendant acted in self-defense beyond a reasonable doubt. The trial court did not err when it denied the defendant's request for a mistrial because the victim's reference at trial that she had to get him out of jail was fleeting and the trial court immediately gave the jury a curative instruction. And the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted the victim's medical records because the State sent the records to the defendant five months before trial.
