Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Sep 12, 2018
STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent vs. HAROLD R. STATES, Appellant
Harold R. States appealed his bench-trial convictions for first-degree assault and armed criminal action, arguing there was insufficient evidence that he intended to kill or cause serious injury to the victim. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding that the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the State, was sufficient to establish Harold's intent based on his actions during the attack, his statements, and his conduct afterward.
