Syllabus

Manifest weight; self-defense; jury instruction; cell phone extraction; authentication; evidence of search for counsel; Sixth Amendment; right to counsel; Fifth Amendment; right to remain silent; jail-time credit; cumulative error. Defendant's convictions were not against the manifest weight of the evidence despite minor inconsistencies in eyewitness testimony. The trial court properly refused to provide a self-defense jury instruction where there was no evidence that the defendant acted in self-defense. Lead detective sufficiently demonstrated that the contents of a cell phone extraction were what the matter claimed to be. Trial court failed to apply jail-time credit. Appellant failed to demonstrate that he was deprived of a fair trial because of cumulative errors when he failed to demonstrate that any errors occurred during the trial.
