Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Mar 6, 2024
ANTHONY SAUCEDO, Appellant vs. STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent
Anthony Saucedo appealed his conviction for attempted second-degree assault against a law enforcement officer, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence to prove specific intent to cause physical injury. The conviction stemmed from a high-speed vehicular pursuit where Saucedo intentionally collided with a deputy's patrol vehicle. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding sufficient circumstantial evidence to support the finding of specific intent.
