1Opinion of the Court
McCULLOUGH, Judge.
Tevein Dewayne Harvey argues that the trial court erred in permitting a victim of his crimes to testify at sentencing concerning the details of those crimes. He contends that such testimony exceeded the scope of permissible testimony under Code §§ 19.2-295.3 and 19.2-299.1. He also argues that the trial court committed an abuse of discretion by permitting the victim to testify about one of the charges that was “nol prossed.” We find no error and affirm.
