Syllabus

Menacing by stalking R.C. 2903.211 protective order sufficiency manifest weight admissibility authentication Evid.R. 901(A) mistrial abuse of discretion. Judgment affirmed. The court properly denied Hamrick's Crim.R. 29 motion for acquittal because his menacing by stalking conviction was supported by sufficient evidence. Furthermore, his convictions of menacing by stalking and violation of protection order were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The Duo messages at issue were admissible because they were properly authenticated by H.C. under Evid.R. 901. Finally, the court did not abuse its discretion in denying Hamrick's motion for a mistrial because the state did not willfully fail to turn over evidence in discovery.
