Syllabus

Crim.R. 33/motion for new trial Crim.R. 29/motion for judgment of acquittal sufficiency manifest weight abuse of discretion. Although the trial court granted appellants' motion for a new trial based on appellants' argument that the conviction was against the manifest weight of the evidence, the record shows clearly that the trial court reasoned that there was insufficient evidence to support appellants' convictions. The denial of appellants' motion for acquittal under Crim.R. 29 is not a final, appealable order, and therefore, is not properly before this court.
