Syllabus

Per Mayle, J., trial court did not abuse its discretion by excluding evidence of and denying jury instruction on reasonable parental discipline. Appellant's convictions are supported by sufficient evidence and are not against the weight of the evidence. Kidnapping and felonious assault convictions caused separate and identifiable harms, so they did not merge at sentencing. Trial court must make clear that sentence for qualified felony is stated minimum prison term, not definite prison term.
