Syllabus

On appeal from a conviction and 36-month prison term for domestic violence, as well as the revocation of community control and consecutive 16-month prison term from two prior domestic violence convictions. Appellant's conviction was not against the manifest weight of the evidence; the jury did not lose its way in believing the victim's account, which was supported by physical evidence and first responders' testimony. The state did not commit prosecutorial misconduct by suggesting inferences about credibility that could be drawn from specific evidence and testimony at trial. The trial court's failure to include consecutive-sentencing findings in its judgment entry was a clerical error that could be cured by a nunc pro tunc entry. Judgment affirmed in part and reversed in part. Cause remanded for a nunc pro tunc sentencing entry.
