Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Dairius Kinnie, Appellant.
Dairius Kinnie was convicted of first-degree murder, first-degree assault, armed criminal action, and resisting arrest following a jury trial. On appeal, Kinnie argued the trial court erred by admitting autopsy photographs of the victim and testimony from the victim's mother regarding Kinnie's demeanor. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, affirmed the judgment, finding no abuse of discretion in the admission of the evidence and no resulting prejudice to the defendant.
