Highlight

A defendant is limited on appeal to issues raised in motion for new trial.
A motion for severance must be brought at the close of evidence to properly preserve an objection to joinder.
A district court's consolidation of two charges into one trial was not obvious error when defendant failed to make compelling showing of need to present evidence concerning one charge and the inability to present the evidence to defend the other charge.
