Syllabus

Plain error; Evidence; Due Process; Polygraph Examination; Cumulative Error Doctrine; Merger. The trial court did not commit plain error by permitting evidence that defendant-appellant was asked to submit to a polygraph examination. The trial court did not commit plain error by permitting evidence that the defendant-appellant did not voluntarily provide law enforcement with the passcode to unlock his phone. Because the trial court did not commit multiple errors at defendant's trial, the cumulative-error doctrine does not apply. The trial court did not err by failing to merge defendant-appellant's convictions for felonious assault and discharging a firearm at or into a habitation.
