Syllabus

Jury verdicts that the defendant was guilty of murder and kidnapping were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. And defendant did not challenge the conclusion implicit in his tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse convictions that he had disposed of the victim's body, which eventually was found in a recycling bin immersed in the Big Darby Creek. The jury was entitled to credit the deputy coroner's testimony that the victim had been strangled, and to believe another witness's account that defendant had admitted to the killing. Objections overruled judgment affirmed.
