State v. Peterson

Opinion

Order

PER CURIAM.

After a jury convicted Appellant, James L., Peterson, of murder in the. second degree and armed criminal action, he was sentenced as a prior offender to consecutive terms of life imprisonment and thirty years for the convictions.

On appeal, he alleges that the trial court: (1) erred in admitting hearsay testimony, (2) abused its discretion in admitting evidence of a prior uncharged crime or bad act, and (3) plainly erred in not declaring a mistrial, sua sponte, when the State referred to matters outside of the presented evidence in its closing argument.

Affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
