Description
Appellant was tried by jury and found guilty of kidnapping, Ind. Code § 35-1-55-1, and commission of a felony (rape) while armed, Ind. Code § 35-12-1-1, both repealed October 1, 1977. For these offenses he was sentenced to life imprisonment and thirty years respectively. Thornton contends that the trial court committed error in that it (1) erroneously permitted the State to introduce evidence that appellant had raped another woman prior to the date of the charged offenses, and (2) erroneously admitted a knife, States Exhibit No. 14, in the absence of a necessary foundation showing its chain of custody.
