It was error to join the three crimes involving K.G., L.R., and S.P. in one trial and to admit evidence relating to the S.P. burglary in the second trial involving offenses against J.L. The convictions involving K.G. and J.L. were properly reversed. However, based on the strong evidence against defendant in respect of the crimes committed against L.R. and S.P., the errors were harmless and do not require retrial of those charges.7-29-13
