Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Dec 19, 2019
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs. KEVIN LEE ELLIS, Defendant-Appellant
Kevin Lee Ellis was convicted by a jury of driving while intoxicated and appealed, arguing the State failed to prove he was intoxicated at the time of driving. The appellate court reviewed the sufficiency of the evidence, noting that evidence of intoxication six hours after the car was seen, combined with other circumstantial evidence and Appellant's admissions, was sufficient. The court affirmed the conviction, finding the jury was free to disbelieve the girlfriend's testimony that she was driving.
