Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Jun 25, 2019
State of Missouri vs. Jafari R. Boss
Jafari Boss appealed his convictions for multiple counts of robbery, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, raising three points of error concerning the admission of evidence. Boss argued the trial court erred by allowing late-disclosed ballistics evidence, admitting expert ballistics testimony under section 490.065, and admitting testimony about him being denied hotel lodging. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment on all of Boss's arguments, finding no abuse of discretion. However, the court remanded the case for the limited purpose of correcting clerical errors in the written judgment regarding the specific counts of conviction.
