Chief Appellate Defender Robert M. Dudek, of Columbia, for Appellant.

Attorney General Henry Dargan McMaster, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Donald J. Zelenka, and Assistant Attorney General J. Anthony Mabry, all of Columbia; and David M. Pascoe, Jr., of Orangeburg, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Andre James King appeals his convictions for murder, assault and battery with intent to kill, and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.  King argues the trial court erred in allowing the State to impeach him with his prior conviction for accessory after the fact to armed robbery.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority:  State v. Pagan, 369 S.C. 201, 208, 631 S.E.2d 262, 265 (2006) ("The admission of evidence is within the discretion of the trial court and will not be reversed absent an abuse of discretion."). 

Affirmed.

HUFF, THOMAS, and KONDUROS, JJ., concur. 


[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
