1Opinion of the Court

ANDERSON, Judge:

Christopher J. Fulton was convicted of armed robbery and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime. He received concurrent sentences of fifteen years in prison for armed robbery and five years for possession of a firearm. Fulton appeals, alleging the trial judge erred (1) in excluding a letter Fulton wrote to the victim on the basis it was a “self-serving statement,” and (2) in allowing two State’s witnesses to testify on reply when they did not remain sequestered after their initial testimony. We affirm.
