Supreme Court of South Carolina.

Decided November 14, 1988.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Chief Atty. William Isaac Diggs and Deputy Chief Atty. Elizabeth C. Fullwood, of S.C. Office of Appellate Defense, Columbia, for appellant.

Atty. Gen. T. Travis Medlock, Asst. Attorney Gen. Harold M. Coombs, Jr. and Norman Mark Rapoport, Columbia, and Sol. George M. Ducworth, Anderson, for respondent.

Heard April 5, 1988.

Decided Nov. 14, 1988.

TOAL, Justice:

Appellant Ronnie Howard was convicted of murder, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Howard contends the trial court abused its discretion in not declaring a mistrial when a codefendant, while testifying, referred to an unrelated homicide allegedly committed by Howard. Howard also challenges the voluntariness of a statement he gave to the FBI. We affirm Howard's conviction.
