Six, J.:

Terry Lee Hooker, Jr., appeals his convictions for first-degree felony murder, aggravated burglary, and criminal possession of a firearm. K.S.A. 21-3401; K.S.A. 21-3716; K.S.A. 2000 Supp. 21-4204.

The issues for review include whether the district court erred by: (1) failing to instruct the juiy regarding unanimous verdicts, (2) denying Hookers motion for arrest of judgment, and (3) excluding evidence that two other people had threatened to harm the victim.
