Syllabus

Felonious Assault R.C. 2903.11 Abduction R.C. 2905.02(A)(2) Evid.R. 804(B)(1) Evid.R. 616 Merger of Offenses R.C. 2941.25. The trial court did not err in admitting the victim's testimony from the preliminary hearing, not allowing defendant-appellant to introduce evidence of a false accusation made against him, or not merging defendant-appellant's offenses together. Defendant-appellant's convictions for felonious assault and abduction were not against the manifest weight of the evidence, and the verdict was supported by sufficient evidence.
