State v. Anders
Court of Appeals of South Carolina

1Opinion of the Court
HOWARD, Judge:
Robert Anders (Anders) and Larry Simmons (Simmons) were indicted for common law conspiracy, third degree arson, and burning to defraud an insurer. The appellants were tried together and both found guilty on all indictments. Anders asserts the trial court erred in admitting testimony of a co-conspirator’s statement against him because the State failed to *396establish a prima facie case of conspiracy or that the statement was made in furtherance of the conspiracy. Simmons argues the trial court erred in failing to instruct the jury on the law of alibi. We affirm.
