Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Mar 7, 2023
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. GERALD HENRY YOUNG, Jr., Defendant-Appellant
Gerald Henry Young, Jr. appealed his convictions for first-degree statutory sodomy and furnishing pornographic materials to a minor, arguing the trial court plainly erred by admitting certain forensic interviewer testimony and that the written judgment contained an inconsistent sentence. The appellate court affirmed Young's convictions, declining plain error review on the testimony issue. However, it found merit in the sentencing discrepancy and remanded the case for the circuit court to amend the written judgment to reflect the orally pronounced life imprisonment sentence.
