Syllabus

The trial court did not err in failing to sever trial, did not err in admitting a DNA report, and properly merged some of appellant's convictions. Appellant's Fifth Amendment rights were not violated during two interrogations because he failed to unambiguously exert his right to counsel and he did not suffer from ineffective assistance of counsel for failing to object to the DNA report. These convictions were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence.
