1 In documents filed by counsel for appellant Dave McNeil at trial, and as well as in the appellant’s brief filed in this court, counsel represents appellant’s surname as “McNeal.” Additionally, the court reporter included a note in the Master Index which states: “The correct spelling of the Defendant’s name is ‘McNeal.’” However, trial court’s judgment spells appellant’s surname as “McNeil.” There is no indication that these are two different people. We shall therefore use the spelling contained with the official judgment of the trial court, i.e., “McNeil.’
