State v. O'BRIEN

Defendant has cited two assignments of error, each of which presents a sufficient ground for reversal. First, at trial, and over objection on the grounds of hearsay, Russel Edmonds was permitted to testify to out-of-court statements allegedly made by Joe Lyda. These statements were to the effect that the paper bag allegedly sold to the defendant con*39tained “* * * some twigs of stems and seeds from * * * the * * * last purchase of Ms marijuana * '* The admission into evidence of the testimony was prejudicial error and grounds for reversal.
