Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Nov 12, 2024
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. MARK SALEUTOGI KELEISE, Defendant-Appellant
Mark Saleutogi Keleise appealed his convictions for multiple counts of kidnapping, assault, and armed criminal action, arguing the trial court plainly erred by sending a video of a juvenile witness interview to the jury during deliberation. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District, affirmed the convictions. The court held that Keleise waived plain error review because his defense counsel affirmatively participated in providing the video to the jury and did not object.
