The appellate court affirmed, holding that H.R. had waived his admissibility arguments regarding the expert testimony by failing to object at trial. The court concluded there was sufficient and overwhelming evidence in the record to support the trial court's finding of H.R.'s sexually violent predator status.","primaryTopic":"other","topicSlugs":["other","appellate-procedure","evidence","civil-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=225277","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/in-the-matter-of-the-care-and-treatment-of-hr-aka-hjr-v-state-of-missouri-d87338","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":20,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure","topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
