Syllabus

The trial court did not err by admitting a recording of jailhouse phone calls between appellant and his mother as such statements constituted non-hearsay admissions of a party opponent as provided by Evid.R. 801(D)(2) that were not unfairly prejudicial to appellant. In addition, appellant's conviction for burglary was supported by sufficient evidence and otherwise not against the manifest weight of the evidence where there was evidence he burglarized a home, which constituted an occupied structure, with a co-defendant who implicated him in the crime.
