Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri vs. Jenna M. Boedecker
Jenna M. Boedecker appealed her convictions for child endangerment and felony murder, stemming from the deaths of her two children by hyperthermia, and convictions for domestic assault and property damage. She contended there was insufficient evidence to support the child endangerment and felony murder convictions, and that irrelevant evidence of her methamphetamine use was erroneously admitted. The appellate court affirmed all convictions, finding sufficient evidence for child endangerment and no reversible error in the admission of the methamphetamine evidence.
