Syllabus

Felonious assault continuance preliminary hearing admission of evidence sufficiency flight instruction. Trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying defendant's motion for continuance on the day of trial where the state informed him at that time that one of its witnesses had no criminal history. Defendant's right to a preliminary hearing was extinguished upon his indictment. Defendant's conviction was supported by sufficient evidence. Trial court erred in admitting photograph exhibits that were not individually identified by a witness but the error was harmless as the unidentified photographs were duplicative of other properly admitted exhibits. Trial court abused its discretion in permitted a flight instruction solely based on the fact that the defendant did not remain at the scene of the offense but such error was harmless.
