Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Dec 23, 2024
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. FRANK CLIFFORD PARRY IV, Defendant-Appellant
Defendant Frank Clifford Parry IV appealed his convictions for multiple felonies, including child molestation and statutory sodomy, and his consecutive life sentences. He argued the trial court erred by excluding evidence of the victim's allegations of sexual abuse by others and by sentencing him based on a mistaken belief. The appellate court affirmed the convictions and sentence, finding no abuse of discretion in the evidence exclusion and no plain error in the sentencing.
