Syllabus

FELONIOUS ASSAULT – R.C. 2901.11(A)(1) – INTENT – KNOWINGLY – R.C. 2901.22(B) – EXPERT TESTIMONY – CREDIBILITY: Defendant's conviction for felonious assault is supported by sufficient evidence because a rational trier of fact could find that defendant's testimony describing her decision to drive across the parking lot and surveillance footage showing defendant striking the victim with her car established that defendant acted knowingly. Defendant's conviction for felonious assault is not against the manifest weight of the evidence because although defendant presented expert testimony that she had operated her vehicle as a flight reaction to an attack, the trial court was entitled to find that expert testimony not credible and undermined by surveillance footage in the record.
