Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Jul 31, 2023
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs. RAYMOND CROSS, Defendant-Appellant
Raymond Cross appealed his conviction for felony resisting arrest, arguing there was insufficient evidence that he knew or reasonably should have known Sergeant Borders was arresting him when he fled. The trial court had denied his motions for judgment of acquittal. The appellate court affirmed the conviction, finding that the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, was sufficient for a rational jury to conclude Cross knew or should have known he was being arrested.
