STATE v. DONOVAN (2021)

Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District.

STATE of Missouri, Respondent, v. Justin M. DONOVAN, Appellant.

WD 83543

Decided: July 27, 2021

Division Three: Edward R. Ardini, Jr., Presiding Judge, Mark D. Pfeiffer, Judge and W. Douglas Thomson, Judge

Nathan J. Aquino, Jefferson City, for Respondent. Annette M. Wallace, for Appellant.

ORDER

Justin Donovan appeals from his convictions following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri. Donovan claims that the trial court abused its discretion by denying his request for a mistrial after the victim of his offenses testified through direct examination and part of cross-examination without having been placed under oath. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided the parties an unpublished memorandum setting forth the reasons for the order. Rule 30.25(b).
