Syllabus

TESTIMONY – ADMISSIBILITY – HEARSAY – EVIDENCE – SUFFICIENCY – MANIFEST WEIGHT – AGGRAVATED ROBBERY – ATTEMPTED MURDER: The trial court erred in allowing the hearsay testimony of a witness, but the error was harmless because it did not affect the outcome of the trial. Defendant's conviction for aggravated robbery was supported by sufficient evidence and not against the weight of the evidence where the evidence established that defendant obtained the victim's cell phone and identification after shooting him multiple times. Defendant's conviction for attempted murder was not against the weight of the evidence where the evidence established that defendant shot the victim in the chest, stomach, and wrist and attempted to shoot the victim in the head.
