Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for aggravated burglary with a firearm specification was supported by sufficient evidence and the manifest weight of the evidence where the victim testified that he discovered appellant in his home, holding a gun from the victim's collection. Further, the responding officer was able to match the backpack, flashlight, and physical description of the intruder to the appellant, whom she encountered nearby, less than a day earlier. The fact that the officer mentioned appellant's name to the victim did not render the victim's identification of appellant unreliable. The court declined to consider appellant's constitutional challenge of the Reagan Tokes Law because appellant failed to brief the issues, and instead attempted to summarily adopt the arguments made in other appellants' briefs in other cases, in violation of App.R. 12 and 16.
