Evidence – hearsay — harmless error

Antonio (“Tony”) Shannon appeals from a judgment convicting him after a jury trial of first-degree intentional homicide while armed and discharging a firearm from a vehicle, as party to a crime. Tony contends that the trial court erroneously excluded as hearsay a statement that actually was an exception to the hearsay rule and that was material to his defense. While we agree that exclusion was error, we affirm because it was harmless. This opinion will not be published.
