Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motion to suppress his statements since he was not subject to custodial interrogation and spoke voluntarily. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in failing to remove a juror for cause, since the juror indicated in an exchange with the court that he would follow the law as provided by the court regarding the charge of having weapons while under disability. The trial court did not err in allowing a detective to identify the appellant on surveillance video based upon the detective's prior interaction with him the detective did not testify regarding the nature of the prior interaction, only to his previous opportunity to view appellant's face and \walking demeanor.\ The trial court did not err by refusing to allow appellant to waive a jury trial on a single element (his prior conviction) of the having weapons while under disability charge. Appellant's convictions for felonious assault and having weapons while under disability were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgment affirmed.
