The appellate court affirmed Taylor's convictions, finding no abuse of discretion in the exclusion of certain evidence. However, the court reversed Taylor's sentence, concluding that the trial court erred in relying on improperly certified out-of-state conviction records to establish his status as a prior and persistent offender. The case was remanded for resentencing.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=146274","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-v-robert-allen-taylor-d81930","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":40,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","text: sentence"],"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":"respondent"}]}
