AFFIRMED
Appellate Defender LaNelle Cantey DuRant, of Columbia, for Appellant.
Attorney General Alan McCrory Wilson and Assistant Attorney General Christina Catoe Bigelow, both of Columbia; and Solicitor James Strom Thurmond, Jr., of Aiken, for Respondent.
PER CURIAM : Michael Tyrone Quarles appeals his convictions for kidnapping and armed robbery, arguing the trial court erred by admitting a recording of the
victim's 911 call and allowing it to be played for the jury. We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: State v. Collins, 409 S.C. 524, 530, 534, 763 S.E.2d 22, 25, 27-28 (2014) (stating the admission of evidence, or its exclusion under Rule 403, SCRE, is within the trial court's sound discretion); State v. Gray, 408 S.C. 601, 608, 759 S.E.2d 160, 164 (Ct. App. 2014) (recognizing this court will not reverse the trial court's decision regarding a Rule 403 objection absent an abuse of discretion and resulting prejudice); State v. Stephens, 398 S.C. 314, 319-20, 728 S.E.2d 68, 71 (Ct. App. 2012) (noting this court must give great deference to the trial court's decision regarding Rule 403); State v. Shuler, 353 S.C. 176, 184-86, 577 S.E.2d 438, 442-43 (2003) (applying a Rule 403 analysis to assess the admissibility of a 911 tape).
AFFIRMED.
