STATE v. HOOTEN (2024)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. Jaren Tyler HOOTEN, Appellant.

WD 85540

Decided: January 30, 2024

Division Four: Gary D. Witt, Chief Judge, Edward R. Ardini, Jr., Judge and Janet Sutton, Judge

Justin E. Davis, Jefferson City, MO, for Respondent. Jedd C. Schneider, Columbia, MO, for Appellant.

ORDER

Jaren Hooten appeals his convictions of two counts of first-degree statutory sodomy following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Linn County. Hooten argues the trial court abused its discretion in admitting hearsay testimony of the victim's boyfriend. Finding no error, we affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have instead provided a memorandum of law to the parties. See Rule 30.25(b).
