Kleeschulte appealed his conviction for second-degree domestic assault, challenging the trial court's admission of evidence. He argued that the officer's testimony and a 911 recording contained inadmissible hearsay and violated his Confrontation Clause rights. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, holding that the challenged statements were admissible under the excited-utterance and prior inconsistent statement exceptions to hearsay, and that the Confrontation Clause was not violated because the declarants testified and were subject to cross-examination. The court also declined plain error review for an unpreserved Confrontation Clause claim.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=173813","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-timothy-m-kleeschulte-appellant-d36200","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: 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"}]}
