State v. Williams

KENNETH W. SHRUM, Judge.

Dennis Williams (“Defendant”) appeals his conviction for possession of a controlled substance (methamphetamine) with the intent to distribute in violation of section 195.211. 1 After the jury found him guilty, Defendant, as a prior and persistent offender, was sentenced by the trial judge to twenty years’ imprisonment. Defendant alleges the trial court committed reversible error when (1) it overruled his objections to hearsay evidence, and (2) the court allowed the prosecution to read certain statutes to the jury. We disagree. We affirm.
