Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Aug 1, 2023
State of Missouri vs. Kylr Charles Yust
Kylr Yust appealed his convictions for voluntary manslaughter and second-degree murder related to the deaths of K.K. and J.R. He challenged the exclusion of alternate perpetrator evidence, the exclusion of surveillance video and related testimony, and the admission of prior bad acts evidence. Yust also argued insufficient evidence for the mental state in J.R.'s death. The Western District of the Missouri Court of Appeals affirmed all convictions, finding no error in the trial court's rulings.
