• 2024 Ohio 2397

Syllabus

Appellant's convictions for grand theft were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the state demonstrated appellant entered into contracts to repair two homeowners' roofs and accepted insurance proceeds for the repairs, but appellant failed to communicate with the homeowners' after receiving the payments, failed to deliver any roofing materials, and failed to do any repair work on the homes. The trial court properly admitted a third homeowner's testimony about her similar experiences in contracting with appellant for unperformed roofing repairs pursuant to Evid.R. 404(B), as such evidence was relevant in demonstrating appellant's intent and the absence of mistake or lack of accident.
