Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Feb 24, 2023
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs. DARIUS E. BROWN, Defendant-Appellant
Darius E. Brown appealed his convictions for felony drug trafficking and possession after a jury found him guilty. He challenged the sufficiency of the evidence for knowing possession, the admission of an unredacted body cam video showing a gun box, and the denial of a mistrial after the prosecutor questioned a witness about an outstanding arrest warrant. The Southern District of Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding sufficient evidence for constructive possession and no abuse of discretion in the evidentiary rulings or the denial of a mistrial.
