On appeal, she challenged several evidentiary rulings concerning her video-recorded interview with police, arguing her statements were involuntary due to cognitive impairment and that certain evidence was improperly excluded. The appellate court affirmed her convictions, finding no abuse of discretion in the trial court's evidentiary rulings or its determination of voluntariness. However, the court remanded the case to correct a clerical error in the written judgment regarding the counts of conviction and dismissal.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=138773","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-kearstain-n-sleeth-appellant-d35474","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: felony","text: conviction"],"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"}]}
