Hunstein, Justice.

Jennifer Johnson and Christopher Morman were convicted of felony murder and cruelty to children in the death of Jennifer’s five-month-old son, Joshua. Morman was convicted of two additional counts of cruelty to children related to other instances of physical abuse to Joshua. The trial court merged one count of cruelty to children into the felony murder and sentenced appellants to life imprisonment. Morman received two consecutive 20-year sentences on the remaining counts of cruelty to children. They appeal and we affirm in this consolidated opinion.
