Syllabus

Present-sense impression Evid.R. 803(1) hearsay Evid.R. 801 inconsistent testimony credibility abuse of discretion manifest weight sufficiency force aggravated burglary R.C. 2911.11 R.C. 2901.01(A)(1). The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it admitted the victim's statements because they were admissible as a present-sense impression. Further, the trial court did not abuse its discretion when it excluded Gocan's statements because they were inadmissible hearsay and not relevant. In addition, there was sufficient evidence of \force\ to sustain a conviction for aggravated burglary. Finally, we cannot say that the jury clearly lost its way thus, appellant's convictions are not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
