Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 4, 2021
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Alvin L. Hunter, Appellant.
Alvin L. Hunter appealed his convictions for seven counts of forcible rape and six counts of forcible sodomy following a bench trial. Hunter challenged the trial court's interpretation of the relevant statutes regarding voluntary intoxication, the sufficiency of the State's evidence on force and timeframe, the denial of his motion to dismiss, and the admissibility of video evidence. The Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's judgment on all points.
