Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 4, 2021
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Charles K. King, Appellant.
Charles K. King appealed his convictions for four counts of forcible rape and one count of forcible sodomy following a bench trial. He challenged the trial court's interpretation of the statutes regarding voluntary intoxication, the sufficiency of the State's evidence on physical force and timeframe, the denial of his motion to dismiss the information, and the admissibility of video evidence. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no error in the statutory interpretation, sufficiency of evidence, or evidentiary rulings.
