Syllabus

Trial court properly allowed testimony about victim's hearsay statements. Appellant's conviction is supported by sufficient evidence the jury reasonably chose to believe statements victim made the day after the rape over her trial testimony. Appellant's conviction is not against the weight of the evidence the jury choosing to believe only parts of victim's testimony did not create a manifest miscarriage of justice. Trial counsel's actions were trial strategy, not ineffective assistance of counsel.
