v.
James L. PETERSON, Appellant.

Before ELLIS, C.J., and ULRICH and HOWARD, JJ.
Order
PER CURIAM.
After a jury convicted Appellant, James L. Peterson, of murder in the second degree and armed criminal action, he was sentenced as a prior offender to consecutive terms of life imprisonment and thirty years for the convictions.
On appeal, he alleges that the trial court: (1) erred in admitting hearsay testimony, (2) abused its discretion in admitting evidence of a prior uncharged crime or bad act, and (3) plainly erred in not declaring a mistrial, sua sponte, when the State referred to matters outside of the presented evidence in its closing argument.
Affirmed. Rule 30.25(b).
