Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jun 7, 2024
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs DEBBIE GOSVENER, Defendant-Appellant
Debbie Gosvener appealed her conviction for felony stealing a credit device following a bench trial. She argued there was insufficient evidence to prove she appropriated a debit card from a purse left at a gas station. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding that circumstantial evidence, including surveillance footage of her actions, a police officer's expert testimony, and her self-incriminating statement, was sufficient for the trial court to infer her guilt.
