Syllabus

Trial court did not abuse its discretion when it joined two indictments against appellant for a single trial because the evidence appellant raped and kidnapped the victim in one case would have been admissible when offered to prove appellant's intent to commit forceable rape of the victim in the other case and because the evidence offered to prove the charges in the two indictments was simple and distinct. Appellant's conviction of felonious assault, rape, and kidnapping were supported by sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Judgments affirmed.
