State v. Johnson

STROUD, Judge.

Lamonte Charles Johnson (“defendant”) appeals from his 20 April 2009 convictions for murder and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. Defendant asserts that the trial court improperly limited jury voir dire and improperly admitted a written witness statement and recorded interrogation because they were hearsay not subject to any exception.
