1Opinion of the Court

LAVENSKI R. SMITH, Justice.

Appellant Gyronne Buckley appeals stice. two counts of delivery of a controlled substance, both Class Y felonies, for which he was sentenced to two consecutive life terms by a Clark County jury. Buckley asserts that four trial errors require reversal. One occurred during the guilt phase of the trial and three during the sentencing phase. We find merit in Buckley’s contention that the trial court erred in admitting certain hearsay evidence in the sentencing phase of his trial and therefore reverse and remand for new sentencing.
