Syllabus

Murder felonious assault sufficiency of the evidence mens rea purposely knowingly manifest weight circumstances surrounding accident. The state presented sufficient evidence of the requisite mens rea for both murder and felonious assault. The jury's verdict of guilty for murder and felonious assault was not against the manifest weight of the evidence when the death investigator said that the victim's gunshot could be consistent with a self-inflicted wound because both suicide and accidental shooting were ruled out as the manner of the victim's death based on the circumstances surrounding the death.
