Syllabus

The evidence is sufficient to show that Appellant committed aggravated robbery and felony murder. Although in dispute, the manifest weight of the evidence is not contrary to the jury's verdict finding that Appellant strangled the victim. The jury did not lose its way because it believed the state's witnesses over the defense's witnesses. Appellant fails to show that the trial court plainly erred by admitting evidence of his other bad acts. Defense counsel properly waived Appellant's presence at a jury view and at a conference on the admission of exhibits. Counsel was not ineffective for not objecting to the admission of the other-acts evidence. Judgment affirmed.
