Syllabus

The drugs produced at trial were properly authenticated under Evid.R. 901 as the drugs recovered from the defendant. Defense counsel was not ineffective in failing to object to the admission of the baggies of drugs into evidence where the drugs presented at trial were properly authenticated under Evid.R. 901 as the drugs recovered from the defendant. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's Crim.R. 16 motion which sought to dismiss the case based upon the state's failure to disclose the videotape of the drunk tank. Trial court did not impose an increased prison sentence in retaliation for the defendant pursuing a jury trial.
