Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Date unavailable
State of Missouri, Respondent, v. Thomas Kinworthy, Appellant.
Thomas Kinworthy appealed his convictions for first-degree murder, assault, burglary, and other charges, where he had asserted a defense of not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect. Kinworthy claimed the circuit court erred by excluding certain testimony and failing to redact exhibits detailing prior criminal charges. The appellate court affirmed the circuit court's judgment, finding no abuse of discretion in the evidentiary rulings and no prejudice to Kinworthy.
