• 2024 Ohio 2478

Syllabus

Appellant's guilty verdict was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The evidence showed that appellant and the victim lived together and that appellant struck the victim, causing physical harm. The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it permitted a witness to testify as to what a five-year-old child said shortly after the incident, as it was an excited utterance. Judgment affirmed.
