STATE OF MISSOURI v. BOW STEVEN DABBS (2025)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

STATE OF MISSOURI, Respondent, v. BOW STEVEN DABBS, Appellant.

WD87075

Decided: October 21, 2025

Before Division Three: Edward R. Ardini, Jr., P.J., and Alok Ahuja and Thomas N. Chapman, JJ.

Attorneys: Christian Lehmberg, Columbia, MO for Appellant, Nathan J. Aquino, Jefferson City, for Respondent.

ORDER

After a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Adair County, Bow Dabbs was convicted of attempted enticement of a child and sentenced to thirty years’ imprisonment. Dabbs appeals. He argues that the circuit court erred in overruling his motion to strike a prospective juror for cause; in admitting the testimony of a police officer concerning the officer's interpretation of Dabbs’ actions; and in refusing to instruct the jury on entrapment. We affirm. Because a published opinion would serve no jurisprudential purpose, we have provided an unpublished memorandum to the parties which sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 30.25(b).
