UNPUBLISHED OPINION
Submitted February 1, 2011
Appeal From Lexington County, Ralph F. Cothran, Circuit Court Judge
Chief Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, Assistant Attorney General Alphonso Simon, Jr., all of Columbia, and Donald V. Myers, of Lexington, for Respondent.
Samuel H. Harmon was convicted of murder, assault and battery with intent to kill, assault with intent to kill, and possession of a firearm during the commission of violent crime. Harmon appeals, alleging the trial court erred in (1) forcing Harmon to concede to the admission of a co-defendant's written statement in return for the admission of public records evidencing the co-defendant's conviction and sentence for a lesser offense, and (2) admitting the written statement because the statement constituted impermissible hearsay. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities:
As to issue (1): State v. Dicapua, 383 S.C. 394, 399, 680 S.E.2d 292, 294 (2009) ( ); State v. Pichardo, 367 S.C. 84, 94, 623 S.E.2d 840, 846 (Ct. App. 2005) ( ).
As to issue (2): Dicapua, 383 S.C. at 399, 680 S.E.2d at 294 ( ); State v. Rice, 348 S.C. 417, 420, 559 S.E.2d 360, 362 (Ct. App. 2001) ( ).
AFFIRMED. [1]
