Syllabus

The jury's findings that appellant was guilty of possession of heroin, aggravated possession of drugs, and tampering with evidence were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. On the scheduled trial date, appellant moved to continue the trial on a charge of failure to appear, which was contained in a separate indictment and had been joined for trial with the other offenses the court overruled the motion, and appellant entered a no contest plea to the failure to appear charge. The trial court did not abuse its discretion by overruling the motion to continue. Finally, the record does not clearly and convincingly show that appellant's maximum and consecutive sentences were not supported by the record. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., concurring in judgment.)
