Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / May 9, 2024
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent vs. ROBERT C. ROST, Defendant-Appellant
Robert C. Rost appealed his convictions for unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action, assault, and tampering. He challenged the denial of a mistrial due to juror misconduct, the refusal to sever the tampering charge, and the sufficiency of evidence for tampering. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment on these three points, finding no abuse of discretion or insufficient evidence. However, the court found a clerical error in the written judgment regarding the tampering conviction and remanded the case for a nunc pro tunc correction.
