Bryan M. Pierce was found guilty of possession of child pornography after a bench trial. On appeal, he challenged the circuit court's denial of his motion to suppress evidence and his 15-year sentence. The Missouri Supreme Court affirmed the judgment, holding that the exclusionary rule did not apply to the search because officers did not act in bad faith, and that no plain error occurred in sentencing despite an initial misstatement of the punishment range, as the sentence was based on valid considerations and Pierce failed to show manifest injustice.
