Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in excluding an e-mail sent by the victim to the appellant days after the incident. The timing, tone, and content of the e-mail demonstrated its irrelevance. Appellant's jury instructions on \mistake of fact\ and \accident\ misstate the law. The jury was free to believe the victim and corroborating testimony over appellant's testimony.
