Syllabus

Judgment of the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas is affirmed. Trial court did not err in denying the defendant's motion to suppress statements in a custodial interrogation because the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived her Miranda rights. The trial court did not err in denying the defendant's motion to suppress the results of a gunshot residue test as the results involved the collection of highly evanescent evidence, taken with minimal intrusion on the defendant, and was supported by probable cause. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing the admission of text messages between the defendant and the victim under Evid.R. 404(B) to show intent, motive and state of mind of the defendant. Defendant's counsel's performance also fell within the wide range of reasonable professional behavior expected of attorneys and the conviction was not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
