Martin Redmond Missouri Cases

Appellant Martin Redmond appealed his convictions for first-degree murder and armed criminal action, following a jury trial and concurrent life sentences. He argued the evidence was insufficient to prove deliberation, that the trial court erred in admitting evidence of an uncharged crime, that a mistrial should have been granted due to his courtroom outburst, and that a voluntary manslaughter instruction should have been submitted to the jury. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding sufficient evidence for deliberation and no reversible error in the trial court's evidentiary rulings, denial of mistrial, or jury instruction decisions.
