Syllabus

In this case in which appellant fraudulently obtained title to a home, appellant's conviction for trespass in a habitation is supported by sufficient evidence and is not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The owner of the house and an electrician hired by the owner were present at the house on days when appellant was trespassing in the house. The trial court did not commit plain error by failing to merge for purposes of sentencing the appellant's convictions for forgery and tampering with government records because the offenses involved separate victims. Judgment affirmed.
