Syllabus

Appellant's argument that the admission of victim impact testimony during a bench trial was irrelevant and/or not harmless and warrants reversal is without merit. Appellant failed to prove that a unforeseeable, intervening event absolved his criminal liability for felony murder and therefore sufficient evidence exists to support appellant's conviction. Appellant's convictions of felony murder and felonious assault were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not err when it did not merge appellant's aggravated burglary, kidnapping and aggravated robbery convictions. Judgment affirmed.
