Greathouse argued his confession was coerced due to an Edwards violation, but the court found he initiated the communication and his statements were voluntary. The court also found no error in the jury viewing the sister's statement, citing Greathouse's failure to deposit the exhibit and the undisputed nature of the testimony. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, affirmed the conviction.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","search-and-seizure","evidence","appellate-procedure"],"outcomeNorm":"unknown","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=132097","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-todd-allen-greathouse-appellant-d35281","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: criminal-law","topic: criminal-procedure","topic: search-and-seizure","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"}]}
