Dodd appealed his jury convictions for statutory rape and child molestation of his six-year-old daughter. He challenged the admission of testimony and photographs regarding unsanitary home conditions, arguing irrelevance and prejudice. Dodd also contested the admission of Foster Mother's testimony about uncharged bad acts, claiming it was highly prejudicial. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no outcome-determinative prejudice from the admitted evidence due to its cumulative nature and overwhelming evidence of Dodd's guilt, and no manifest injustice for the unpreserved claim.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=219837","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-joshua-a-dodd-appellant-112280","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":32,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: evidence","topic: appellate-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
