Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Jul 15, 2025
State of Missouri vs. Robert Beck
Robert Beck appealed his conviction and sentence for misdemeanor witness tampering, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to establish he had the purpose to influence a witness to withhold information. The appellate court found that a reasonable juror could infer Beck's purpose from his actions, including threatening the witness at the courthouse and following him to the sheriff's department to continue the threats. The court concluded that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction. Therefore, the judgment was affirmed.
