Syllabus

OVI – CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE – SUFFICIENCY – MANIFEST WEIGHT The state presented sufficient circumstantial evidence to sustain defendant's convictions for OVI, failure to maintain reasonable control, and refusing an OVI test, where a witness saw defendant in the driver's seat of a wrecked car after hearing a crash mere minutes before, notwithstanding two occupants of the vehicle exiting from the car. Defendant's convictions were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the trial court found the car's two occupants' testimony to be incredible.
