Syllabus

Self-Defense Crim.R. 29 motion hearsay confrontational clause and Reagan Tokes Act. The appellant's claim of self-defense was not supported by sufficient evidence. The trial court did not err in denying appellant's Crim.R. 29 motion because the appellant testified that he shot the victim. The admittance of medical record evidence was not hearsay or against the confrontational clause of the Constitution because the appellant admitted to shooting the victim. The Reagan Tokes Act is not unconstitutional and does not violate the separation-of-powers doctrine.
