Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Oct 24, 2023
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. KEVIN LEE HAUSMANN, Defendant-Appellant
Kevin Lee Hausmann appealed his conviction for first-degree sodomy, raising two points: the exclusion of his wife from voir dire and a discrepancy between his oral and written sentence. The appellate court affirmed his conviction, finding no abuse of discretion in excluding his wife, who was a witness. However, the court agreed that the written judgment's 99-year sentence materially differed from the oral pronouncement of life in prison. The case was remanded for the circuit court to amend the written judgment to reflect a life sentence.
