Syllabus

Appellant's convictions for aggravated burglary, aggravated murder, and tampering with evidence were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion to suppress; the record demonstrates that appellant's waiver of his Miranda rights was knowing, voluntary and intelligent, and was not the product of coercion. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by ordering three evaluations of appellant's sanity at the time of the offenses. The record does not support a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel. The trial court did not err in sentencing. Judgment affirmed.
