Syllabus

Insufficient evidence manifest weight circumstantial evidence parallel inferences felony murder participating in a criminal gang admission of evidence abuse of discretion App.R. 16(A)(7) R.C. 2941.25 joinder ineffective assistance of counsel juror misconduct allied offenses consecutive sentences. The convictions were supported by sufficient evidence, and the defendant failed to demonstrate that the trial court abused its discretion when admitting evidence regarding the defendant's gang affiliation at trial. The defendant's conviction of receiving stolen property did not violate R.C. 2941.25 based on an earlier conviction in another case, and there was no error in joining several counts into one case for trial under Crim.R. 13. Trial counsel was not ineffective for failing to remove a juror based on unsubstantiated allegations of misconduct. And finally, the defendant's convictions were not for allied offenses and there was no error with respect to imposing the sentences to be consecutively served.
