Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Apr 23, 2024
State of Missouri, Respondent, vs. Pedro Torres Jasso, Appellant.
Pedro Torres Jasso appealed his conviction for second-degree rape, raising four points of error concerning his waiver of jury sentencing, victim testimony, expert testimony, and the State's closing argument. The appellate court found that none of Jasso's points were preserved for review and declined to review any of them for plain error. Consequently, Jasso's conviction and seven-year sentence were affirmed.
