Cattani and Joseph L. Parkhurst Harriette P. Levitt Tucson Attorneys for Appellee Tucson Attorney for Appellant H O W A R D, Chief Judge. ¶1 After a jury trial, appellant Carlos Frasquillo was convicted of two counts of aggravated assault, one count of aggravated driving with an illegal drug in his system while his driver s license was suspended, one count of fleeing from a law enforcement vehicle, one count of criminal damage, four counts of endangerment, and one count of manslaughter. The trial court sentenced him to a combination of concurrent and consecutive, presumptive prison terms totaling twenty-three years. On appeal, Frasquillo argues the court erred in permitting the state to show a videotape at his sentencing hearing that depicted his victims. Finding no error, we affirm. ¶2 Frasquillo contends the trial court erred when it allowed the state to play what he characterizes as an emotionally charged video at sentencing. But Frasquillo has not included the videotape in the record on appeal. It was Frasquillo s duty to see that the record before us contains the material to which [he] take[s] exception. State v. Zuck, 134 Ariz. 509, 512-13, 658 P.2d 162, 165-66 (1982); see also State v. Jessen, 130 Ariz. 1, 8, 633 P.2d 410, 417 (1981) (appellate counsel must ensure any document necessary to appellate argument included in record on appeal); Ariz. R. Crim. P. 31.8(a)(2). [M]atters [that] are not included in the record on appeal . . . will be presumed to support the action of the trial court. Zuck, 134 Ariz. at 513, 658 P.2d at 166; see also State v. Brown, 188 Ariz. 358, 359, 936 P.2d 181, 182 (App. 1997). We will not speculate on the contents of the videotape presented during the sentencing hearing and therefore affirm Frasquillo s convictions and sentences. JOSEPH W. HOWARD, Chief Judge CONCURRING: PHILIP G. ESPINOSA, Presiding Judge GARYE L. VÃ SQUEZ, Judge 2
