Heading: Prior Testimony of Crime Laboratory Technician

Text: At the second enhancement hearing, the State requested that the court take judicial notice of the testimony of a crime laboratory technician who had testified at the first enhancement hearing in this case. King's attorney made a hearsay objection, arguing that the technician's unavailability for the second hearing had not been established. The court overruled the objection and received the transcribed testimony. King argues that the technician's prior testimony was inadmissible because unavailability was not established, but he does not specifically assign error with respect to this issue. An appellate court does not consider errors which are argued but not assigned. State v. Hernandez, 268 Neb. 934, 689 N.W.2d 579 (2004); State v. Tyma, 264 Neb. 712, 651 N.W.2d 582 (2002).
