Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 25, 2023
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Mark Aaron, Appellant.
Mark Aaron appealed his convictions for first-degree assault, armed criminal action, and unlawful possession of a firearm, which stemmed from a shooting incident. On appeal, Aaron challenged the circuit court's admission of a post-surgical photograph of the victim's torso and expert testimony regarding the pain a person experiences after being shot. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District, affirmed the judgment, finding no abuse of discretion in the admission of either the photograph or the expert testimony.
