Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jan 9, 2025
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. JOHN YAGGY, Defendant-Appellant
John Yaggy appealed his convictions for resisting arrest and second-degree kidnapping, arguing the trial court erred in denying his motions for judgment of acquittal due to insufficient evidence. The appellate court affirmed the convictions. It held that Yaggy waived his first point of error by introducing evidence, and for the second point, it found sufficient evidence to support the mens rea for both the kidnapping and resisting arrest charges.
