Missouri Court of Appeals, Southern District / Oct 17, 2023
STATE OF MISSOURI, Plaintiff-Respondent v. THAISEN PAUL OLLERICH, Defendant-Appellant
Thaisen Ollerich appealed his convictions for four counts of second-degree statutory sodomy, arguing the trial court plainly erred by violating his double jeopardy rights. He contended that the statutory sodomy statute limits the unit of prosecution for acts occurring in a single incident, and there was no evidence the acts occurred at different times. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, declining plain error review because the double jeopardy allegation was not determinable from the face of the record.
