decided: March 10, 1982.
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA
v.
SAMUEL BARKS, APPELLANT
Appeal No. 80-3-485, from the Judgment of Sentence of the Court of Common Pleas of the First Judicial District at Nos. 91-93 December Term, 1978; Juanita Kidd Stout, Judge.
Perry de Marco, Philadelphia, for appellant.
Robert B. Lawler, Chief, Appeals Div., Deborh Fox, Philadelphia, for appellee.
O'Brien, C. J., and Roberts, Nix, Larsen, Flaherty, McDermott and Hutchinson, JJ.
Samuel Barks brings this appeal from judgments of sentence imposed after his conviction in a jury trial of voluntary manslaughter and possessing instruments of crime. Appellant argues he is entitled to a new trial because of the admission of certain "hearsay" testimony and statements of
the prosecutor during his closing argument. We have thoroughly reviewed the briefs and the record and find appellant's arguments are without merit. Therefore, judgment of sentence is affirmed.
