Syllabus

The trial court did not err when it allowed a ten-year-old witness to testify. There was nothing in the record that would suggest he was incapable of expressing himself or did not understand that he must tell the truth. Also, the trial court did not err when it overruled a motion in limine and allowed two audio exhibits to be played in court. The recordings were relevant and not overly prejudicial. Further, appellant's convictions were supported by the weight of the evidence. Finally, having found no errors, the cumulative error doctrine cannot apply. Judgment affirmed.
