Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Dec 20, 2024
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. KEITH THOMPSON, Defendant-Appellant
Keith Thompson was convicted as a prior and persistent offender of first-degree statutory rape, third-degree child molestation, and sexual misconduct with a child by indecent exposure. On appeal, Thompson challenged the denial of a mistrial, argued double jeopardy for the sexual misconduct conviction, and contended the evidence was insufficient for the sexual misconduct charge. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding no merit in any of Thompson's points on appeal.
