Opinion:
OPINION OF THE COURT
FLAHERTY, Justice.
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.
Affirmed.
