Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Sep 18, 2018
State of Missouri vs. Vincent S. Barriere
Vincent S. Barriere was convicted by a jury of first-degree assault, armed criminal action, unlawful possession of a firearm, and unlawful use of a weapon. On appeal, Barriere raised six points of error, challenging the admission of reputation evidence and hearsay, the sufficiency of the evidence, the trial court's failure to declare a mistrial, the submission of jury instructions, and the State's closing arguments. The Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District, affirmed the circuit court's judgment on all counts.
