PER CURIAM:  Israel Wilds appeals his convictions for murder and armed

(AOn appeal, appellant also argues the trial court=s ruling violated the Sixth
Amendment of the Constitution; however, this issue is not preserved for review
because it was not raised at trial.@); State v. Prioleau, 345 S.C.
404, 411, 548 S.E.2d 213, 216 (2001) (AIn order to preserve for review an
alleged error in admitting evidence an objection should be sufficiently specific
to bring into focus the precise nature of the alleged error so it can be reasonably
understood by the trial judge.@); State v. Hoffman, 312 S.C. 386, 393,
440 S.E.2d 869, 873 (1994) (AThe issue which is not properly preserved cannot
be raised for the first time on appeal.@). 

AFFIRMED.
