Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Sep 19, 2023
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Nore K. Edmond, Appellant.
Nore K. Edmond was convicted of domestic assault in the second degree and unlawful use of a weapon. On appeal, Edmond challenged the trial court's denial of his motions to strike two venirepersons for cause and the overruling of his hearsay objection to a witness's testimony. The appellate court affirmed the judgment, finding no error in the voir dire rulings because the challenged venirepersons did not serve on the jury, and the hearsay testimony was admissible under several exceptions or was not offered for the truth of the matter asserted.
