Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Date unavailable
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent/Cross-Appellant v. DANISHA RACHELLE PRICE, Defendant-Appellant/Respondent
Danisha Rachelle Price was convicted by a jury of involuntary manslaughter, abandonment of a corpse, and tampering with physical evidence. The trial court granted Price's post-verdict motion for judgment of acquittal on the involuntary manslaughter charge. On appeal, Price challenged the admission of evidence related to her flight and her children's injuries, hearsay statements, and expert testimony regarding blood tests. The appellate court affirmed Price's convictions for abandonment of a corpse and tampering with physical evidence, but reversed the trial court's judgment of acquittal on involuntary manslaughter, remanding with directions to accept the jury's verdict and sentence Price on that conviction.
