State v. Alvarez

FLÓREZ, Presiding Judge.

¶ 1 After a jury trial, Israel Joaquin Alvarez was convicted of felony murder and aggravated robbery. The trial court sentenced him to concurrent prison terms of life and 6.5 years. He argues on appeal that the trial court erred in instructing the jury, denying his motion for a judgment of acquittal, admitting hearsay evidence, and dismissing a prior case on the same facts without prejudice. We affirm his convictions and sentences.
