  • The indictment was sufficient because the exact dates of the crimes were not essential elements of the charged offenses.
  • trial court not required to grant a continuance when defendant “waited until the morning of the trial to inform his court-appointed counsel that he wanted new representation, and to request additional time from the trial court to locate and retain new counsel”
  • A defendant who abandoned his motion for continuance could not claim that the trial court erred in denying the motion, because “[a] defendant cannot abandon a motion in the trial court and then argue on appeal that the failure to grant the motion was improper”
