1Opinion of the Court

BOEHM, Justice.

Defendant Adam L. Houser was convicted of felony murder and was sentenced to sixty years in prison. In this direct appeal, he raises several issues for our review:

I. Did the trial court err in admitting evidence seized pursuant to an allegedly illegal search of Houser’s business?

IV. Was the evidence sufficient to support a conviction for felony murder?
