| WM-19-014, WM-19-015 | Conviction for criminal trespass is not based on insufficient evidence or against the manifest weight of the evidence where resident testifies that appellant entered her home without her permission, and appellant had been previously warned not to go onto the property. Conviction for disorderly conduct is based on insufficient evidence where the evidence shows that appellant only “flipped off” the victim while driving by on the roadway. | Pietrykowski | Williams |
