1Opinion of the Court

Annabelle Clinton Imber, Justice.

Appellant, Keyono Cook, was convicted of capital felony murder, aggravated robbery, and theft of property. The jury sentenced him to life imprisonment without parole plus twenty-seven years in the Arkansas Department of Correction. Mr. Cook’s only point on appeal has to do with the admissibility of two documents.

We disagree and affirm.
