Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 15, 2025
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Gerald Nytes, Appellant.
Gerald Nytes appealed his convictions for three counts of violating a full order of protection. The appellate court reversed the conviction in the "Letter case," finding insufficient evidence that the order of protection was in effect at the time of the alleged violation, as a Case.net entry could not supersede the signed judgment's expiration date. However, the court affirmed the convictions in the "Phone Call cases," holding that there was sufficient evidence of notice of the order and that, while jail call logs were improperly admitted as hearsay, the error was not outcome-determinative due to other corroborating evidence.
