Syllabus

SUFFICIENCY OF THE EVIDENCE MANIFEST WEIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE KIDNAPPING AGGRAVATED BURGLARY INEFFECTIVE ASSISTANCE OF COUNSEL. The defendant-appellant's kidnapping and aggravated-burglary convictions are based on sufficient evidence and are not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by denying the defendant-appellant's motion to remove his appointed trial counsel since the defendant-appellant failed to establish that a breakdown of the attorney-client relationship had occurred. The defendant-appellant's trial counsel was not ineffective since the defendant-appellant failed to demonstrate that the actions of his trial counsel were not part of a trial strategy and that the outcome of the trial would have been different.
