515 S.E.2d 768

The STATE of South Carolina, Respondent, v. Max Reed WHISONANT, Appellant.

Court of Appeals of South Carolina.

Decided April 5, 1999.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Stephen D. Schusterman, of Rock Hill, for appellant.

Attorney General Charles M. Condon, Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott and Senior Assistant Attorney General Harold M. Coombs, Jr., all of Columbia; and Solicitor Thomas E. Pope, of York, for respondent.


GOOLSBY, Judge:

The appellant, Max Whisonant, was convicted of committing a lewd act upon a child under the age of fourteen. He appeals, contending the trial court erred (1) in denying his motion for directed verdict, and (2) in admitting hearsay testimony regarding details of the alleged molestation told by the victim to a third party. We affirm as to the directed verdict motion, reverse as to the admissibility of the hearsay testimony, and remand.
