Syllabus

EVIDENCE — EVID.R. 404(B): Defendant's conviction for committing domestic violence against the mother of his child was not against the manifest weight of the evidence, where mother's testimony that defendant lashed her with a belt and choked her, corroborated by the physical evidence, was credible. The trial court did not err in admitting evidence of defendant's uncharged acts of domestic violence relating to his child in contravention of Evid.R. 404(B), when such inextricably intertwined acts were an integral part of the immediate context of defendant's perpetration of the charged offense and tended logically to prove defendant committed the charged offense.
