Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by declining to appoint a DNA expert for Appellant at state expense. Appellant failed to show a particularized need for the expert. The trial court did not err by declining to merge the offenses of aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery. Each offense involved separate conduct that caused separate, identifiable harm. The convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. DNA evidence found at the scene linked Appellant to the crimes. Judgment affirmed. (Donovan, J., concurring in judgment only.)
