Syllabus

Admission by Party Opponent Manifest Weight of the Evidence Ineffective Assistance of Counsel. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing victim to testify that she overheard defendant say that she hit the victim's car because the statement was an admission by a party opponent not subject to hearsay exception defendant's conviction for felonious assault was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the victim's testimony that the defendant deliberately hit her car was corroborated by other evidence, and the defendant's version of events was not credible trial counsel was not ineffective.
