After a jury trial, Donasti Davonsiea was convicted of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, and first-degree burglary of a residential structure. The trial court sentenced him to concurrent prison terms, the longest of which is twenty-eight years. On appeal, Davonsiea argues the court erred by denying his motion for a judgment of acquittal on the burglary of a residential structure offense because the building had been used for business purposes at the time of the burglary.
