1Opinion of the Court

Thompson, Justice.

James Edward Neason was convicted of felony murder, criminal attempt to commit armed robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a crime, stemming from the murder of Patricio Ibarra and the assault on Severo Vasquez Ramos. He was sentenced to a term of life pins 20 years in prison. On appeal, Neason challenges the sufficiency of the evidence to support his convictions and the admission of an incriminating statement made by his co-defendant. Finding no error, we affirm.
