Evidence sufficient for conviction.

- Evidence was sufficient to convict the defendant of necrophilia because the state presented evidence corroborating the defendant's confession because the victim's body was found in the room registered to the defendant at the hotel where the defendant told the police the defendant took the victim; and the physical evidence found at the crime scene and testimony from the medical examiner corroborated the defendant's statements about the manner in which the defendant killed the victim, the items used to kill the victim, and the multiple days the defendant spent with the victim's body after the defendant killed the victim. Furthermore, in the defendant's confession, the defendant mentioned sex with the dead victim several times during the police interview and, when directly asked, the defendant affirmatively stated that the defendant had sex with the victim after the victim was dead.
