Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 27, 2025
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Deandre J. Cothran, Appellant.
Deandre Cothran appealed his convictions for unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, and unlawful possession of a firearm. He argued the trial court erred by allowing him to proceed pro se, finding him competent without a hearing, failing to order a post-conviction mental evaluation, denying his speedy trial motion, and not declaring a mistrial for alleged Doyle violations. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no error in any of the points raised.
