Plaintiff-Appellee,
v
No. 232889
Calhoun Circuit Court
LC No. 00-003215-FH
ROBERT MICHAEL SLAUGHTER,
Defendant-Appellant.
Before: Griffin, P.J., and Gage and Meter, JJ.
MEMORANDUM.
Defendant appeals by right his conviction of felonious assault, MCL 750.82, entered
following a jury trial. We affirm.
Defendant argues that the jury’s verdict was against the great weight of the evidence.
Because defendant did not move for a new trial in the trial court, this issue is not preserved for
appellate review and we need not address it absent outcome determinative plain error or other
manifest injustice. People v Carines, 460 Mich 750, 764; 597 NW2d 130 (1999); People v
Noble, 238 Mich App 647, 658; 608 NW2d 123 (1999); People v Winters, 225 Mich App 718,
729; 571 NW2d 764 (1997). The evidence presented in this case did not clearly weigh in
defendant’s favor. Because the complainant’s testimony reasonably supports the verdict in this
case, we find no plain error preventing forfeiture of this issue. Noble, supra; People v Lemmon,
456 Mich 625, 643; 576 NW2d 129 (1998).
Affirmed.
