Syllabus

Appellant's convictions for trafficking in marijuana and possession of marijuana were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The exclusion of certain portions of appellant's interview with law enforcement was proper were such portions were not relevant and discussed sentencing matters that fell outside the province of the jury. Finally, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying appellant's request to disqualify the Clermont County Prosecutor's Office as appellant could not show actual prejudice resulted from her evening with an assistant prosecuting attorney and the mere appearance of impropriety is insufficient to warrant the disqualification of an entire prosecutor's office.
