Syllabus

The trial court did not err by instructing the jury on constructive possession or flight as consciousness of guilt where the trial court's jury instructions were complete and proper statements of law that were necessary for the jury to weigh the evidence and discharge its duty as the trier of fact based on the testimony and evidence presented at trial. The trial court also did not err by admitting a 9-1-1 call into evidence where the call was relevant and admissible as a present sense impression pursuant to Evid.R. 803(1) that explained the immediate background of the acts that formed the basis for the crime with which appellant was charged.
