Syllabus

The jury's convictions of defendant on counts of felonious assault and discharging a firearm into a habitation were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence where by his own account, defendant was present at the shoot-up, in the company of armed companions, with a gun, which he fired multiple times, after which he wound up behind the wheel of the get-away car, and where two people were shot and an apartment was riddled with bullets. The defendant conceded the count of improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle. And the trial court did not commit plain error that deprived defendant of fair trial rights. Assignments of error overruled convictions stand judgment affirmed.
