Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Sep 24, 2020
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs. DEBRA KAY BAUMGARTNER, Defendant-Appellant
Debra Kay Baumgartner appealed her convictions for four counts of stealing following a bench trial, challenging the sufficiency of the evidence. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding that circumstantial evidence, including her possession of stolen property and admissions, was sufficient for a reasonable fact-finder to find her guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
