Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for felonious assault was not against the manifest weight of the evidence, as the jury did not lose its way in finding the greater weight of the evidence did not establish that Appellant acted in self-defense. In addition, the trial court's response to a question posed by the jury during deliberations did not amount to plain error. Finally, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in overruling Appellant's Crim.R. 33 motion for new trial as the motion was based on unsubstantiated juror statements and was therefore barred by the aliunde rule and Evid.R. 606(B). Judgment affirmed.
