Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for violating a protection order was not against the manifest weight of the evidence and therefore supported by sufficient evidence. Victim received two calls from appellant's cell phone number and on answering one, recognized his voice berating her. Ultimately, the question was whether appellant or victim was more credible. Substantial deference is given to the trial court's determination of a witness's credibility. The trial court found victim more credible than appellant, and a review of the record shows that the trial court as trier of fact did not clearly lose its way and create a manifest miscarriage of justice.
