He argued the trial court erred by allowing cross-examination about jail phone calls suggesting witness interference and by denying his motion to suppress K.T.'s identifications. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the phone calls were admissible as evidence of consciousness of guilt, and K.T.'s identifications were admissible because the alleged suggestiveness stemmed from non-police conduct, which is outside the scope of the admissibility test.","primaryTopic":"criminal-procedure","topicSlugs":["criminal-procedure","evidence","appellate-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"affirmed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=185633","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/state-of-missouri-respondent-v-tyrone-butler-appellant-109523","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"criminal-law","label":"Criminal Law","href":"/practice-areas/criminal-law","score":36,"source":"tag","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/criminal-law"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"appellant"}]}
