Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion by refusing to instruct the jury on self-defense or voluntary manslaughter. Because defendant-appellant's purposeful murder offense merged with his felony-murder offense for purposes of sentencing and defendant-appellant was sentenced for the felony-murder offense, any error in the jury's verdict on his purposeful murder offense is harmless.
