STATE v. RICHARDSON (2024)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. Timothy Eugene RICHARDSON, Appellant.

WD 85723

Decided: February 27, 2024

Before Division Two: Anthony Rex Gabbert, Presiding Judge, Karen King Mitchell, Judge, and Janet Sutton, Judge

Carol Jansen, Columbia, MO, counsel for Appellant. Richard Starnes, Jefferson City, MO, counsel for Respondent.

ORDER

Timothy Richardson appeals his convictions for statutory rape in the first degree in violation of section 566.032, statutory sodomy in the first degree, in violation of section 566.062, and three counts of child molestation in the second degree, in violation of section 566.068, following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Macon County. Richardson asserts that the trial court erred in admitting testimony about a threat he made, erred in failing to grant his request for a mistrial because of one of the victim's behavior while her forensic interview played during her direct examination, and that the trial court plainly erred by failing to sua sponte declare a mistrial for a comment the State made during closing argument. For reasons stated in the memorandum provided to the parties, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with Rule 30.25(b).
