OPINION

ANDERSON, RUSSELL A., Justice.

Appellant Joshua John DeRosier was convicted and sentenced in Crow Wing County District Court for first-degree murder, in violation of Minn.Stat. § 609.185(a)(1) (2004), in connection with the shooting deaths of his grandmother and step-grandfather. On appeal, DeRosier claims that he was denied a fair trial because various hearsay statements were admitted, the prosecutor committed misconduct in closing argument by referring to DeRosier’s failure to testify, the evidence was insufficient to support the convictions and he was denied a speedy trial. We affirm.
