Hurt v. State

HUNSTEIN, Justice.

Appellant Kortez Hurt was convicted of felony murder and associated crimes in connection with the shooting death of Michael Ray. Hurt now appeals his convictions on the grounds that the trial court allowed the State to elicit inadmissible hearsay testimony, that the trial court abused its discretion when it refused to ask three of Hurt’s proposed voir dire questions, and that trial counsel was ineffective. Though we find no merit in Hurt’s enumerations, we do find error in certain aspects of Hurt’s sentences, and we must, therefore, vacate and remand for resentencing.
