Evidence – hearsay — prior consistent statements

Evidence – hearsay — prior consistent statements

Daniel Buchanan appeals from a judgment of conviction for felony murder, following a jury trial. Buchanan also appeals from an order of the trial court denying his motion for postconviction relief. Buchanan argues that: (1) the trial court erroneously admitted hearsay statements and a transcript of the statements into evidence; (2) his trial counsel was ineffective for not attempting to restrict the amount of hearsay testimony heard and read by the jury; and (3) the trial court erroneously exercised its sentencing discretion. We affirm. Not recommended for publication in the official reports.
