On appeal, Holtmeyer argued the trial court erred by admitting his phone records without proper business record authentication and that the evidence was insufficient to convict him. The appellate court reversed the conviction and remanded for a new trial, finding the phone records were improperly admitted due to an unnotarized digital signature on the affidavit. The court declined to address the sufficiency of the evidence argument.","primaryTopic":"evidence","topicSlugs":["evidence","criminal-procedure","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=204054","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-terry-w-holtmeyer-appellantcross-responden-110897","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","text: state of missouri","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"}]}
