Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Jun 2, 2020
State of Missouri, Respondent, vs. Robert A. Young, Appellant.
Robert Young was found guilty of possession of a controlled substance and appealed, raising two points. First, he argued the trial court erred by denying a mistrial after a detective's inadmissible testimony. Second, he claimed there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, finding the curative instruction for the testimony was sufficient and that the State presented enough evidence to prove constructive possession.
