1Opinion of the Court

The opinion of the court was delivered by Beier, J.:

Defendant Kasey L. Nesbitt appeals his convictions for felony murder, rape, and aggravated burglary, arising from a violent and ultimately fatal attack on 100-year-old M.S. in her home.

Nesbitt raises five issues on appeal: (1) insufficient evidence to support felony murder;

*1062 (2) insufficient evidence to support aggravated burglary; (3) prosecutorial error; (4) error in refusal to give a requested jury instruction on a race-switching exercise; and (5) cumulative error.

We reject these challenges and affirm Nesbitt's convictions.
