Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Aug 27, 2024
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs. BRANT M. WINKLE, Defendant-Appellant
Brant M. Winkle appealed his convictions for first-degree murder and armed criminal action following a jury trial. The appellate court dismissed two of Winkle's three points on appeal for failing to comply with Rule 84.04(d)'s briefing requirements. However, the court reviewed the third point, which challenged the sufficiency of the evidence, despite its deficiencies. The court found sufficient circumstantial evidence to support the convictions and affirmed the trial court's judgment.
