Syllabus

The trial court did not commit structural error in failing to instruct the jury regarding the defendant's not guilty by reason of insanity defense where the defendant did not request such an instruction and did not present any evidence of such a defense at trial. Defendant's attempted safecracking conviction was supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the evidence showed defendant attempting to pry at and tamper with a bank's ATM. Defendant's felonious assault against a police officer conviction is supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence where the injury to the officer was a foreseeable result of defendant's actions in resisting arrest and engaging in a physical altercation with the officers.
